Humanoid robot firm 1X Technologies has introduced its latest innovation—the domestic humanoid robot NEO. Priced at $20,000 (equivalent to roughly RMB 140,000), the robot also offers a subscription model priced at $499 per month (around RMB 3,500, a slight adjustment for more rounded and culturally familiar numbers in the Chinese context). The promotional video demonstrates the robot's proficiency in handling various household tasks, including taking out the trash and tidying up clothes. Standing at approximately 168cm and weighing about 30 kilograms, the robot is projected to start shipping to customers in 2026.
