The honest brief

1X

Targets the home, not the warehouse — a consumer humanoid with an onboard VLA and a teleop-assisted learning loop.

Redwood VLA runs onboard on NEO's GPU
Consumer pricing: $20k or $499/month
Human teleoperation accelerates skill learning

Ships from 2026 — unproven in real homes
Teleop raises in-home privacy questions
Narrow task repertoire at launch
No developer API or platform yet

Apptronik

Targets industrial deployment now — real Mercedes-Benz and GXO pilots and a DeepMind model partnership, while many humanoid rivals are still demo-stage.

In real factory and warehouse pilots
Swappable 4-hour battery packs
55 lb payload in human spaces
Google DeepMind / Gemini Robotics partner

Not yet at commercial scale
Enterprise RaaS only — no consumer product
Unproven outside pilot programs
