The verified answer

As of Oct 2026, DEPLOY verifies Neo1, a humanoid by NeodraDynamics (research). 2 sources back the record.

Overview

Neo1 is a hydraulic-electric hybrid heavy-duty humanoid from NeodraDynamics. The company describes it as a 4-meter humanoid with a 500 kg dual-arm payload, aimed at heavy assembly, heavy-load logistics, mining, construction and deep-sea work. Interesting Engineering reports 41 active degrees of freedom (39 hydraulic joints using the company's miniature digital hydraulic actuators, 2 electric forearm rotational joints) and that it was unveiled with JD Industrial at the 2026 China International Industry Fair; the company's own release places the debut at the World Robot Conference in Beijing.

All specifications are company claims with no independent testing; the sources give different precision figures. No price, sale date or customer deployment has been announced. Debut stage only; not a commercial product.
