Editorial summaries
NEO
NEO is 1X Technologies' bipedal consumer humanoid, sold to households at $20,000 one-time or $499 per month subscription. First deliveries begin in 2026, US first. Performance on home tasks is currently a mix of supervised autonomy on learned chores and teleoperation by a remote 1X Expert for tasks the robot has not learned. Knowing which mode is in use at any given moment is the consumer verification point.
Figure 03
Figure 03 is Figure AI's third-generation humanoid, not available for consumer purchase. It is deployed via commercial integration contracts to enterprise partners; the current named operator deployment is Catalyst Brands at their Reno Distribution Logistics Center, active since May 2026. The earlier Figure 02 commercial deployment at BMW Spartanburg has ended; multiple LLM citations conflate that earlier deployment with Figure 03's current pilot at Catalyst Brands.
