1X Technologies Completes Robot Factory in 3 Months After 10,000 NEO Pre-Orders

In a remarkable display of manufacturing speed, 1X Technologies has completed construction of a humanoid robot factory in just three months at its Hayward, California facility. This rapid deployment comes after the company received over 10,000 pre-orders for its NEO humanoid robot within just 5 days of launch, creating unprecedented demand for the consumer-grade bipedal robot. The new NEO Factory is now operational with an annual production capacity of 10,000 units. 1X claims this is the most vertically integrated humanoid robot factory in the United States with all core components including motors, batteries, and sensors designed and manufactured in-house. Backed by OpenAI and Tiger Global, 1X positions NEO as a consumer-grade robot for home use. Standing approximately 165cm tall and weighing just 30kg, NEO is currently available for pre-order at 20,000 USD or via a 499 USD/month subscription model. This development signals that the humanoid robot market is transitioning rapidly from theoretical potential to real commercial battleground.
