I toured the only factory in America building humanoid robots from scratch. Last month, I got an exclusive first look at the facility making NEO— the humanoid robot launching into consumer homes later this year. It is the most vertically integrated humanoid robot factory in America. Every critical component is done in-house. CEO Bernt Børnich walked us through the full story: from building soapbox cars with his dad at age 11 to leading the only end-to-end humanoid robot factory in the United States. VP of Operations Vikram Kothari then took us inside the entire build process, where every motor, limb, circuit, and sensor comes together under one roof on a rapid four-week cycle from CAD to finished robot.
