lo Alto company is taking preorders for a $20,000 humanoid home robot, but it might be a tad invasive for some people.
1X Technologies says Neo is the « world’s first consumer-ready humanoid robot designed to transform life at home. » The company published a 10-minute video about its 66-pound robot, which is designed to run for up to 4 hours on a single charge. It stands at 5 feet, 6 inches, can carry up to 55 pounds, and contains cameras that let you remotely view what it sees.
The machine can be controlled via a mobile app or through voice commands. This includes being programmed to handle a variety of chores, such as watering the plants, unloading the dishwasher, or tidying up the house.
