Humanoid robots for the home — NEO bipedal android
1X Technologies (formerly Halodi Robotics) is the Norwegian humanoid robotics company building NEO, a soft-skinned bipedal android designed for the home. Backed by OpenAI's Startup Fund since 2023, 1X has emerged as the leading challenger to Figure and Tesla Optimus in the consumer-humanoid race. NEO opened consumer pre-orders in late 2025, and a $10B-tier financing round is reportedly under negotiation. CEO Bernt Børnich has pursued a 'household-first' product strategy distinct from Figure's manufacturing-first path.
