Thanks to the launch of the 1X NEO robot, humans have taken their biggest, laziest step towards being chore-free, as this household humanoid redefines the industry.
As soon as the internet age rolled around, tech gurus instantly turned their attention to robotics.
With sci-fi movies depicting a future full of metallic assistants, and AI making that dream a reality, the robots have begun rising.
Now, the 1X NEO robot has launched with a surprisingly low price and is already impressing the biggest tech mechanics in the world.

1X NEO robot is completely changing the world for just $500 a month
While the likes of the Tesla Optimus are flexing their biceps on the red carpet, 1X Technologies has beaten everyone to the punch by launching its housebound humanoid.
The 1X NEO robot is designed to be your homely companion and relieve you of stressful day-to-day chores like washing, cleaning, and tidying.
And it comes in at the same price as modest cars like a Hyundai i10 or a Toyota Aygo X.
Launched on October 28, the 1X Neo Robot is $500 a month, or $20,000 in total, and could take over everything you hate doing.
On display from 1X Technologies, the humanoid will bring in the groceries, help wait on your table with wine and cutlery, and hoover your house top to bottom, among countless other capabilities.
“I grew up reading these beautiful books and watching beautiful sci-fi movies, where the future was all about us, as humans, really focusing on things that matter the most,” 1X Founder and CEO, Bernt Børnich, said.
“I really hope that when you get your Neo now, we can help you get back some of that time so you can spend it on what you feel is very meaningful to you.”
Having been on the market for less than 24 hours, some of the earliest testers have now revealed their thoughts on the humanoid, and it’s come with glowing reviews already.
Tech wizards are blown away by the housewife humanoid
Despite being the first of its kind to finally land in our homes, skepticism of its quality is valid, considering some experts claim that the Tesla Optimus is an example of how robots are ‘many years off’ from being perfected.
However, even engineers from rival companies have applauded its application.
“It looks fresh as hell,” Neurolink head of mechanical engineering, Danish Hussain, said.
But he was particularly surprised at its soft touch and sturdy quality.
“I loved the soft body panels. The robot has a softness to it that definitely makes it feel safe. They use a compliant plastic lattice, which I assume was picked to still allow convective cooling,” he added.
“The knit sweater is good at minimizing pinch hazards. I wasn’t a fan of how it looked in the past, but the new soft body panels fill out the frame and make it look warm and inviting.”
With many rivals looking to follow in NEO’s footsteps, the new age of artificial assistance is running in our direction, one metal foot at a time.
