- How much does NEO cost?
- NEO's price is not publicly disclosed. DEPLOY has no verified price on record for NEO from 1X Technologies. Physical-AI systems like this are often sold through enterprise contracts or operated as a service rather than at a public list price; check the manufacturer for the latest.
- Is NEO actually deployed in the real world?
- NEO is at the prototype stage: it exists, but DEPLOY has no verified real-world deployment on record. Manufacturer capability claims should be read as claims pending independent verification.
- Who makes NEO?
- NEO is made by 1X Technologies, based in Palo Alto, CA, USA (R&D in Oslo, Norway), founded in 2014.
- Can you buy NEO?
- NEO is at prototype stage and is not yet available for sale.
- What are alternatives to NEO?
- On the DEPLOY registry, comparable humanoid robots to NEO include Digit, Walker S2, Apollo, Unitree H2 Plus.
- How does NEO compare to Digit?
- NEO and Digit (Agility Robotics · 8 deployments) are both humanoid robots on the DEPLOY registry. NEO has 0 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.
- Is NEO a top humanoid?
- On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, NEO ranks in roughly the top 75% of humanoid models tracked by the registry.
- What is NEO's maturity stage?
- NEO is at the prototype stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Prototype stage means demonstrations exist but commercial readiness is not yet established.
- Is NEO still being made?
- NEO has been superseded by a newer generation. The historical record remains on the registry for reference. Successor: NEO.
- Where is NEO deployed?
- No verified deployments of NEO are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.
- Is NEO safe?
- NEO has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
