  1. 2026-2027

    Move NEO off teleoperation for core home tasks

    Hands-on coverage at launch showed most household tasks still run by a remote operator in a VR headset. The World Model Lab and the 25-DoF hands are the software and hardware bets that those tasks start running onboard. No public date has been given for dropping the human-in-the-loop mode.
