Neo1

Four metres tall and built around hydraulics, the Neo1 from NeodraDynamics Robotics in Beijing is a heavy-duty humanoid that the company claims can lift 500 kg with both arms. NeodraDynamics was founded in 2024 by Yang Tao with engineers of Tsinghua background, and its core product is the digital hydraulic actuator.

Thirty-nine joints of the Neo1 are driven by digital micro hydraulic cylinders weighing about 1 kg each; two further electric joints rotate the forearms, for 41 active degrees of freedom in total. The hands have five fingers, and the maker quotes a positioning repeatability of ±0.05 mm.

The robot appeared alongside JD Industrial at CIIF 2026 as a demonstration model; every figure is a company statement without independent verification. Total mass is not given, and whether the machine walks on two legs is not confirmed. Intended fields are ports, nuclear plants, underwater maintenance, mining and disaster response. Price on request.

For context, most industrial humanoids in this catalogue, such as Moby, are specified for loads in the 20 to 30 kg range.
