1X NEO Uniform

Branded, lightweight, built for NEO's 30kg frame.

NEO in a Uniform Context

1X NEO is deployed in service roles. Retail floors, cafes, office reception, information kiosks. These environments require the robot to be instantly identifiable as staff. A uniform does that. It carries the brand, assigns a role, and puts guests at ease.

NEO's slim frame limits uniform options. Heavy blazers and structured suits drag on the platform. The best NEO uniforms are minimal: vests, half-aprons, light shirts. Each piece serves a purpose and nothing extra.

Uniform Options

Service Vest

180 grams. Two magnetic shoulder closures. Front branding panel accepts embroidery or heat-transfer logos. Chest sensor-transparent window is 18cm x 12cm. Back panel is open mesh. This is the NEO standard.

The vest identifies the robot as staff. It accepts custom colors and branding. It takes thirty seconds to put on. For operators deploying NEO in roles that require visual identification without restricting movement, the vest is the answer.

Soft Blazer Uniform

320 grams. Single magnetic button. Unstructured cotton-synthetic blend. For environments that demand a step up from the vest: boutique retail, hotel reception, upscale restaurants. The blazer gives NEO a polished appearance without the weight penalty of a structured garment.

Pair it with a magnetic-closure shirt underneath for a full uniform look at 480 grams total. Still under the 500-gram ceiling.

Branded Apron

140 grams. Magnetic waist closure. Full front panel for branding. The apron is the most cost-effective NEO uniform. Cafes, bakeries, quick-service restaurants. It identifies the robot, protects the front panel from spills, and costs less than any other option.

Polo Shirt

220 grams. Magnetic collar closure. Short sleeves for full arm freedom. Technical microfiber that dries in minutes. The polo uniform works for retail, gym reception, co-working spaces. Casual but clearly a uniform when branded.

NEO fleet operators typically order three uniforms per unit for a wash rotation. One on the robot, one in the wash, one ready to go. This extends garment life to 8-12 months under daily use.

Custom Branding

Every NEO uniform accepts custom branding. Embroidered logos on the chest panel. Heat-transfer graphics on the back. Printed name badges via magnetic attachment. Screen-printed aprons for large fleet orders.

Minimum custom order is 10 units. Turnaround for embroidered uniforms is 3 weeks. Heat-transfer and printed items ship in 2 weeks. Color matching is done against Pantone references.

Fleet Pricing

NEO uniform pricing scales with quantity. Single units are priced at standard rates. Orders of 10 or more receive fleet pricing. Orders of 50 or more receive enterprise pricing with a dedicated account manager. See our price guide for current rate tiers.

Care and Maintenance

Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Hang dry. Do not iron on sensor-transparent mesh. Technical microfiber garments dry in under an hour. Cotton-blend garments take two to three hours. Rotate between three uniforms per unit to prevent fabric fatigue.

Replacement garments ship in 2 weeks using your saved platform profile. No re-measuring. No re-fitting. The pattern is stored.

Frequently Asked Questions

What uniform works best on 1X NEO?

The slim service vest is the most popular NEO uniform. It weighs 180 grams, covers the torso with branding, and leaves the arms free. For formal settings, the soft blazer uniform at 320 grams gives a polished look without weighing the platform down.

Can NEO wear the same uniforms as Tesla Optimus?

No. NEO is 6cm shorter and 27kg lighter than Optimus. Optimus patterns are too wide and too heavy. Every NEO uniform uses platform-specific patterns built for its narrow frame and strict weight limits.

How many uniforms does a NEO fleet need?

Three per unit is the standard rotation. One on the robot, one in the wash, one ready. This rotation keeps the robot in clean uniform every shift and extends garment lifespan to 8-12 months.
