Company Overview
About 1X Technologies
1X Technologies (formerly Halodi Robotics) is on a mission to build the world's first truly home-ready humanoid robot. Founded in Norway in 2014 and now headquartered in Palo Alto with OpenAI's backing, 1X has taken a distinctly different approach from industrial-focused competitors: it's building for the consumer home market first.
The NEO robot — 1X's flagship consumer product — is engineered around safety, lightness, and approachability. At just 30kg (66 lbs), NEO is the lightest full-capability humanoid robot in the world, making it safe to deploy in households with children, elderly, and pets. Its 75 degrees of freedom and 22-DoF hands make it one of the most dexterous robots available.
In October 2025, NEO opened for pre-order at $20,000, targeting early adopter homes and small businesses. A landmark December 2025 partnership with EQT will deploy 10,000 NEO robots in factories and warehouses between 2026 and 2030 — proving the platform's versatility across home and industrial settings.
