The pre-order price is $20,000, with a $200 deposit to reserve a unit. Full payment is due before shipment. This positions it as a consumer-oriented price, similar to Tesla's target for Optimus.
It is designed for light household chores (tidying, carrying objects), conversation, and continuous learning. It walks bipedally at up to 5 km/h and stands 1.67 m tall, weighing 30 kg.
Yes, currently available for pre-order via 1X's website. Planned early US deliveries begin in 2026; global availability is not yet announced.
Both target a ~$20,000 price and home use, but NEO Gamma uses a soft, tendon-driven body for safe interaction, while Optimus is more rigid and industrial. 1X focuses solely on home scenarios, whereas Tesla leverages its self-driving AI stack.
Height: 1.67 m, Weight: 30 kg, Degrees of freedom: 25, Battery: 4 hours, Max speed: 5 km/h, Payload: not officially specified (standing payload ~15 kg).
1X Technologies, founded in 2014 in Moss, Norway, formerly Halodi Robotics. It's known for developing safe, soft-bodied humanoids.
4 hours per charge. Charging time and battery hot-swap capability have not been disclosed.
Primarily consumer and home. It's designed for personal assistance, not industrial or commercial environments.
No used units exist yet, as shipments haven't begun. Expect first deliveries in 2026; a secondary market may emerge in 2027.
Its soft skeleton and tendon-driven actuators reduce pinch points and blunt impact, making it inherently safer around people than rigid robots. It also walks slowly and compliantly.
