Neo Beta is a bipedal humanoid robot developed by 1X Technologies in Norway. Standing 165cm tall and weighing 30kg with 24 degrees of freedom and approximately 3 hours of battery life, it was designed as 1X's first bipedal platform for home environments. Neo Beta emphasizes gentle manipulation and safe human interaction, with privacy features including face blurring of footage and configurable restricted area settings. It operates using a joint human-AI control model. Commercially available at approximately $20,000, it has been largely succeeded by the NEO Gamma platform.
