""This is more than just a factory opening, it's proof that the future of humanoid robotics is being built right here in the U.S.," 1X CEO and founder Bernt Børnich said in the announcement."
"NEO is positioned as a general-purpose home robot, designed to operate alongside humans in domestic environments rather than as an industrial bipedal for warehouses or factory floors."
"The factory currently employs more than 200 staff and is scaling. NEO is being manufactured with critical components built in-house, motors, batteries, structures, transmission systems, soft goods, and sensors."
1X Technologies has opened a 58,000-square-foot factory in Hayward, California, to produce the NEO humanoid robot for private homes. The facility can manufacture 10,000 units in its first year, with a goal of over 100,000 annually by 2027. NEO is designed for domestic use, not industrial applications, and will be available in three colors. Customers can purchase it for $20,000 or subscribe for $499 monthly. The factory employs over 200 staff and represents a significant step in American humanoid robotics manufacturing.
