Introducing NEO Beta, a humanoid robot from 1X Technologies, designed for home use and backed by OpenAI.

Standing at 5.41 feet and weighing 66 pounds, NEO Beta is both agile and unobtrusive, capable of walking at 2.5 mph and running at 7.5 mph.

It can carry up to 44 pounds and operates for two to four hours on a charge.

With advanced sensors and AI, NEO Beta responds to human emotions, voice commands, and gestures, making it feel like a companion rather than just a machine.

A key feature is its integration with smart home systems, allowing it to manage devices, lighting, and security.

It learns your preferences through machine learning, providing personalized assistance.

Safety is prioritized, with collision avoidance and real-time monitoring built in, Fox News has reported.

Building on its predecessor EVE, NEO Beta offers greater flexibility with its bipedal design.

1X Technologies plans to deploy units for research soon, aiming for thousands by 2025 and millions by 2028.

As NEO Beta promises to transform home automation, it also raises questions about privacy, ethics, and the broader societal impacts of robotics in everyday life.
