Humanoid robots have been the big story at the tech shows this year, and the first ones built for the home are starting to ship. They cost about as much as a car.

At IFA in Berlin, one of those shows, there was a panel called “Robots in the Kitchen and Home: From Task-Specific Tools to Humanoids.” The question: does your kitchen end up with a robot shaped like a person, or with machines built to do one job, the way your dishwasher and your oven already do.

Raghav, our co-founder, was on that panel with a humanoid sitting a few feet from his chair. He made the case for the machines built for one job. His reason is the price, and the way humanoids learn is what keeps that price up.

What if a humanoid robot could clean your house, fold your laundry, wash your dishes, and organize your home while you sleep?

It sounds like science fiction. But the real answer is far stranger: humanoid robots are already learning household tasks that seemed nearly impossible just a few years ago.

So how close are you to having a robot living in your home?

In this Future Republic documentary, you'll discover why humanoid robots are becoming more capable, how artificial intelligence helps them understand the physical world, and what still stands between today's demonstrations and truly useful household assistants.

You'll explore:

🤖 How humanoid robots are learning everyday household chores.

🏠 Why companies like Figure and 1X are developing robots for human environments.

🧠 How Google's Gemini Robotics connects artificial intelligence with physical movement.

🔬 What Stanford's Mobile ALOHA research reveals about teaching robots through human demonstrations.

🦾 Why folding laundry, washing dishes, and picking up everyday objects are surprisingly difficult for robots.

⚠️ The hidden challenges of safety, privacy, reliability, and remote human assistance.

💰 Why cost, maintenance, and affordability could determine when household robots become common.

🔮 What the future of humanoid robots could mean for your family, home, and daily life.

From Figure's Helix demonstrations to Google DeepMind's robotics research and 1X's NEO home robot, this video examines real technological progress while separating demonstrated capabilities from future possibilities.

Because the real revolution isn't simply about creating robots that look like humans.

It's about creating machines you can trust inside your home.

💬 YOUR TURN:
Would you allow a humanoid robot to live in your home and handle your daily chores?

Or would you worry about its cameras, privacy, and safety?

1X reportedly opened preorders for its NEO home humanoid on 28 October 2025, at $20,000 or $499 a month, and reportedly offers an Expert Mode where a remote 1X operator controls the robot for chores it can't yet do alone. heise reported first customer deliveries were planned by the end of 2026, but as of 23 October 2026 we couldn't find a reliable source confirming NEO is in paying customers' homes.

A Unitree humanoid robot steps in during a staged home break in, in a scene Unitree labels a security demonstration.

A masked man with a knife climbs onto a patio toward a woman, and the robot sprints across to stand between them, then lets loose a spin kick and a flying kick. The robot maker is Unitree Robotics (宇树科技) of Hangzhou, and the scene comes from its own promo video. Unitree's base H2 humanoid, unveiled in October 2025, stands 180 cm tall and weighs about 70 kg.

Is this a real break in? No, Unitree labels the scene a security demonstration.
Who makes this robot? Unitree Robotics, a robot maker based in Hangzhou, China.

宇树科技 H2 系列人形机器人安保演示：蒙面持刀者翻过栏杆闯入，机器人冲上前挡在中间，随后使出回旋踢和飞踢。

This robot belongs to Unitree's H2 line; the exact specs of this variant are not confirmed.

1X Technologies has opened a humanoid robot factory in Hayward, California to build NEO, a home robot meant to do your household chores. The 58,000 sq ft factory was built in three months, and the year-one target is 10,000 robots. 1X makes its own motors, batteries, electronics and the tendon systems that work like NEO's muscles. Inside is an NVIDIA Jetson Thor chip; outside, a soft fabric body so it is safer around people. Pre-order price: $20,000 (roughly ₹18–19 lakh).

The twist: NEO is not fully autonomous yet. It handles basic tasks on its own, but for complex chores a 1X operator can control it remotely through its cameras, and that data is how 1X plans to teach NEO to work independently. Long term, 1X is aiming for 100,000 robots a year.

Would you keep a robot like this at home? Tell me in the comments.

This $20,000 home robot may have a human inside the headset. 1X sells its NEO home humanoid for $20,000 (or $499 a month), with US deliveries planned for 2026. For chores NEO doesn't know yet, 1X offers a scheduled "Expert Mode": a 1X employee can remotely supervise and steer the robot, seeing through its cameras, to get the job done and to teach it new skills.

What the tests showed: when The Wall Street Journal's Joanna Stern tried NEO (28 Oct 2025), a 1X operator wearing a VR headset and game-style controllers was behind every move she saw. 1X has said early owners need to accept that a human may see into their home while NEO is learning.

To be fair: 1X says owners have to schedule and approve every Expert session, the robot's ear rings change colour while an operator is active, people can be blurred, and no-go zones can be set. Whether that is enough is your call.

Sources: 1X, NEO order page + FAQ (1x.tech/order), read 25 Oct 2026; The Wall Street Journal, Joanna Stern, "I Tried the Robot That's Coming to Live With You. It's Still Part Human.", 28 Oct 2025; Engadget, Oct 2025; PCMag, Oct 2025.
