Intro
Neo1 is a 4-metre-class humanoid with 41 active degrees of freedom. Thirty-nine core joints use NeodraDynamics' self-developed miniature digital hydraulic linear actuators, each weighing about 1 kg and producing what the company describes as ton-level continuous thrust. The two forearm rotation joints use electric servo drives, where precise turning matters more than force. The company claims a 500 kg dual-arm collaborative payload, a weight of 1.2 tonnes (stated in the headline of its October 2026 release) and repeat positioning accuracy of plus or minus 0.005 mm. The arms are described as 7-DoF humanoid arms with five-finger dexterous hands.
Specifications have shifted between releases. The September 2026 release described a 1.1 kg hydraulic cylinder driving a 1,000 kg load at 1 micrometre repeatability, and fingertip repeatability of plus or minus 0.05 mm. The October 2026 release gives roughly 1 kg per actuator and plus or minus 0.005 mm. The company has not published sensors, compute, power unit, runtime, speed or environmental ratings. It states the design tolerates radiation, deep-sea pressure, extreme temperatures, heavy dust and vibration, but this has not been independently tested.
