1X
1X (founded in Moss, Norway in 2014 as Halodi Robotics, renamed 1X in 2023) builds humanoid robots. They use its own tendon-driven actuators, and most parts are made in-house at its NEO Factory in Hayward, California. Its first robot was EVE, a wheeled humanoid sold for security guarding (ADT Commercial) and industrial work. The company now sells NEO, a bipedal home robot, for US$20,000 (Early Access) or US$499/month on subscription, with US deliveries promised for 2026.

| EVE wheeled ↗Wheeled-base humanoid for security, logistics and healthcare; an operator can take over through a VR headset. In 2023 1X called it 'the first commercial android', deployed at scale in the US with a manufacturing capacity goal of 140 robots from Norway and Dallas, Texas. Third-party spec figures disagree, so specs are left null. | Commercial | 2018 | — | — | — | — | — | not published |
