1X California Factory To Produce 10,000 Home Robots

OpenAI-backed 1X Technologies has opened a California factory to build its NEO humanoid robot at scale, marking one of the clearest attempts yet to move home robots from futuristic demos into real consumer use.

Why 1X Is Scaling Home Robots Now

1X Technologies, a Norway-founded robotics company now based in California, has opened a 58,000 sq ft factory in Hayward with capacity to build up to 10,000 NEO robots a year, with plans to scale towards more than 100,000 units annually by the end of 2027. The company says demand has already been strong, stating that it “booked out our entire production capacity for the next year in just 5 days (10,000 NEOs).”
