NEO Beta has advanced sensors and artificial intelligence that allow it to respond to human emotions, voice commands and gestures. This natural communication style sets it apart from traditional robots, making it feel more like a helpful companion than a machine.

One of the most notable features of NEO Beta is its ability to integrate with existing home automation systems. It can control smart devices, manage lighting, heating and security systems, streamlining your home management experience.

Using machine learning, NEO Beta adapts to your preferences and routines over time. This means it can provide personalized assistance, offer reminders, and support you in a way that fits your lifestyle.

What is artificial intelligence (AI)?

1X Technologies claims to have prioritized security in the design of NEO Beta. The robot includes anti-collision systems and real-time monitoring to ensure safe operation in your home. Additionally, it can provide monitoring and alerts, improving your home security.

NEO Beta builds on the foundations laid by its predecessor, Day before. While EVE was primarily designed for industrial applications, NEO Beta is specifically designed for home use. Moving from a wheeled base to a bipedal design allows NEO Beta greater flexibility in navigation in home environments.

Unlike many robotics companies that focus on showcasing human-robot interactions for testing or collaborative work scenarios, 1X positions NEO Beta as a close, casual companion for the home. This approach suggests a view of robots as an integral part of our daily lives, rather than just tools or assistants.

1X Technologies has ambitious plans for NEO Beta. The company plans to deploy some units in homes soon for research and development purposes. Looking ahead, 1X plans to produce thousands of units by 2025, and potentially up to millions by 2028.
