1X's consumer launch video for NEO as a home robot performing household chores. Per 1X's own disclosure, complex tasks use an 'Expert Mode' teleoperation; the autonomous-assistant framing is the maker's claim.

PRIMARY SOURCE
Courtesy of 1X

1X's reveal of NEO Gamma, its soft-suit home humanoid, performing in-home tasks. NEO demonstrations are often teleoperated or a mix of teleoperation and autonomy; any 'no teleoperation' or autonomous framing is 1X's claim.

PRIMARY SOURCE

1X's reveal of NEO Beta, a pre-production build of its home humanoid, shown walking in a home context. An earlier generation than NEO Gamma; any autonomous-operation framing is 1X's claim, and NEO demonstrations are often teleoperated or autonomy-mixed.

  • Claim: 1X NEO is autonomously deployable in homes

    Honest status: NEO's demonstrated capability is operator-supervised L4 via 1X Redwood (onboard control policy at ~5Hz). Autonomous home operation is a stated goal, not a verified capability. Maturity stage is pilot, not production.

    NEO autonomous home operation is a goal, not verified. Demonstrated capabilities are operator-supervised L4 (1X Redwood control policy at ~5Hz), pilot maturity.
