# 1X NEO Early Adopter Project
|
||
|
||
Michael pre-ordered the 1X NEO on the subscription plan in 2026. Goal: be ready as an early adopter while staying realistic about first-gen limitations, privacy, safety, and home integration.
|
||
|
||
## Current expectation
|
||
- Treat NEO as bleeding-edge / beta-like hardware, not a polished appliance.
|
||
- Initial capability will likely be limited, with possible teleoperation or supervised autonomy.
|
||
- Main win: early access, learning curve, helping shape the category, and getting real-world Narooma/home context into the loop.
|
||
|
||
## Track
|
||
- Delivery timeline / preorder updates
|
||
- Subscription terms, cancellation, warranty, damage/liability
|
||
- Data/privacy/teleoperation controls
|
||
- Network/security requirements
|
||
- Physical home readiness
|
||
- First-week test plan
|
||
- Useful tasks NEO might realistically perform
|
||
|
||
## Monitoring
|
||
- Official 1X Discover page is tracked in blogwatcher as `1X Discover`.
|
||
- Local official-site monitor: `scripts/monitor_neo_1x.py`
|
||
- State: `knowledge/projects/neo-1x/monitor_state.json`
|
||
- Run manually: `python3 /home/openclaw/.openclaw/workspace/scripts/monitor_neo_1x.py`
|
||
- It watches new/removed official Discover items plus material changes to `/neo`, `/order`, and `/discover/neo-home-robot`.
|
||
- Existing broader feeds already useful: `The Robot Report`, `MIT Tech Review AI`, `TLDR AI`, `The Rundown AI`.
|
||
|
||
## Latest known official signal
|
||
- 2026-04-30: `NEO Factory | Building Your NEO` says Hayward factory is live, 200+ staff, current NEOs are being prioritised for internal home testing, and 1X still says first customer deliveries start in 2026.
|
||
|
||
## Questions to resolve before arrival
|
||
- What cameras/mics are always on, and what can be disabled?
|
||
- Is teleoperation mandatory, optional, or only for fallback?
|
||
- Can rooms/zones be excluded?
|
||
- Local network requirements and whether it needs cloud always-on access
|
||
- Guest/family consent and visibility indicators
|
||
- Insurance/liability implications
|
||
- Battery/charging dock placement and safe operating zones
|
||
|
||
## First tests when it arrives
|
||
1. Basic navigation and docking reliability.
|
||
2. Stop/pause/emergency controls.
|
||
3. Object pickup/put-down with low-value items.
|
||
4. Kitchen/laundry safety boundaries.
|
||
5. Privacy controls and logs.
|
||
6. Routine household task trials with notes.
|
||
|
||
## Tone
|
||
Excited, but eyes-open. This is early adopter territory: measure, learn, don’t assume magic on day one.
