## What reviewers found

### 1X NEO

- The Wall Street Journal (Joanna Stern), as summarized by Daring Fireball: Stern tried NEO before preorders. A human operator in a VR headset controlled it; it nearly tipped over closing a dishwasher, took about two minutes to fold a shirt and twisted an arm during a dance. She raised privacy concerns about operators seeing through its cameras. [Source](https://daringfireball.net/linked/2025/10/31/stern-1x-neo)
- Dezeen (Ellen Eberhardt): Toured 1X's Palo Alto facility and saw NEO units and parts but did not report watching it do chores. Reported that most tasks still require teleoperation through a VR headset and that NEO is only partly autonomous for now. [Source](https://www.dezeen.com/2026/04/23/1x-neo-servant-robot-factory/)

### AGIBOT X2 Neo

- Engadget (Karissa Bell): Saw X2 at CES 2026 walking, waving and dancing; found it a bit more nimble than the larger A2. An AGIBOT rep partly controlled the robots with a dedicated controller, so the demo was not fully autonomous. [Source](https://www.engadget.com/ai/agibots-humanoid-robots-can-give-directions-and-learn-your-tiktok-dances-045049798.html)
- heise: Reported AGIBOT's video of the Lingxi X2 doing a one legged Webster flip and cautioned that acrobatic demo videos often show only the successful attempts. [Source](https://heise.de/-10662418)
