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

Boston Dynamics

Decades ahead in dynamic locomotion — Spot is already deployed at industrial sites while the production Atlas ships to real factory work in 2026.

  • Three robots: Atlas, Spot, Stretch
  • Spot and Stretch already commercial
  • Google DeepMind model partnership
  • Clear factory deployment path
  • No public pricing for Atlas
  • 2026 Atlas fleets fully committed
  • Autonomy still human-supervised
