1X Technologies has launched Neo, the world's first humanoid domestic robot capable of performing household tasks like folding clothes, wiping tables, and making coffee. Despite its advanced capabilities, Neo requires remote human operators to intervene when it encounters tasks it cannot autonomously complete. This reliance on human assistance has sparked privacy concerns, as the robot functions as a mobile camera transmitting data for algorithm training. Priced at $20,000 or available for $499 per month starting in 2026, Neo's operation involves remote data transmission, raising questions about privacy and business models. Although 1X Technologies has implemented privacy safeguards, such as user-authorized connections and blurred visuals, experts caution about the risks of data leaks and potential misuse.
