1XEssentialA Norway-founded humanoid robot company, best known for its home humanoid NEO.
1X was founded in Norway in 2014 by Bernt Øivind Børnich under the name Halodi Robotics, renamed 1X in 2022; it is now headquartered in Palo Alto, California, while still keeping a factory in Moss, Norway. Its first product, EVE, paired a wheeled base with a humanoid upper body, used for security and logistics; the company then shifted to the bipedal home humanoid NEO, unveiling the Beta in August 2024 and the Gamma in February 2025, and opening preorders on October 28, 2025, priced at a $20,000 outright purchase or $499 a month, with deliveries planned for 2026. It builds its own VLA model, Redwood, and a video-generation-based 1X World Model. Funding: a $23.5 million Series A2 in March 2023 (led by the OpenAI Startup Fund) and a $100 million Series B in January 2024; reports say it sought up to $1 billion in new funding in September 2025.
ExampleHousehold tasks NEO cannot handle can be taken over remotely by a 1X employee through teleoperation, which has also raised privacy concerns.
