Current evidence comparison for 1X NEO and RobotEra L7.

1X NEO

1X Technologies

1X NEO is a preorder/purchasable home humanoid with unusually detailed official specs and production claims: 5'6", 66 lb, 75 total listed DoF, 22 DoF per hand, 18 lb per-arm payload, 4h runtime, Jetson Thor compute, stereo fisheye cameras, $20,000 Early Access ownership, $499/month subscription, and claimed 2026 U.S. deliveries. Stronger 2026 evidence adds factory production and company-run AI/mobility results, but the decisive caveat remains autonomy: official Expert Mode/remote-control disclosures and WSJ/media hands-on reporting mean household chore completion should not be credited as broad autonomous capability

RobotEra L7

RobotEra

RobotEra L7 is a 171 cm, 65 kg full-size bipedal humanoid with 55 DoF and XHAND1 12-DoF hands, claimed to run the ERA-42 VLA model. It has demonstrated impressive whole-body mobility in media-described videos: 360-degree spins, breakdancing, and a sword dance with leaps and stable landings, plus fine manipulation such as screw-driving, paper towel tearing, and a CES 2026 massage title. However, no L7 demo discloses autonomy, no price or runtime is published, and no named L7 customer deployment exists. Commercial claims of 200 robots shipped are company-wide. Overall, strong kinematic demos but unproven autonomy and accessibility
