1X Technologies alternatives

1X splits its line between NEO humanoids entering United States homes through early access and EVE units deployed with industrial customers, all from a company founded in Moss, Norway in 2014 and now based in San Carlos, California. A shortlist that starts there can still bend in several directions, because a home-first humanoid is a narrow answer to broader automation questions. ABB Robotics is the established industrial counterweight: complete industrial and collaborative systems run from Zurich with core engineering in Västerås, Sweden, a robotics lineage back to 1974, roughly 7,000 employees and a service network in more than 50 countries. AGIBOT, founded in Shanghai in 2023, is the closer humanoid rival — general-purpose humanoids and embodied AI, about 660 employees, an online store that ships worldwide and a United States market debut at CES in January 2026. Agility Robotics narrows the humanoid idea to warehouse and logistics work from Salem, Oregon, with named deployments at third-party logistics, automotive supply and e-commerce operators across North America and Latin America. AUBO Robotics drops the humanoid form entirely: Beijing-built lightweight six-axis cobots sold into automotive, 3C electronics, education and commercial services in more than 50 countries. Choose ABB for factory systems backed by a deep service network, AGIBOT for a younger general-purpose humanoid platform, Agility when the workplace is a warehouse, and AUBO when a collaborative arm does the job better than legs.
