1X EVE · Hexagon AEON

All humanoid robots. Every measure below is plotted against the full class, so a difference can be read against how much the class itself varies.

01 Classification

What each one does on its own.

The Autonomy Ladder is the same five rungs for every robot on the site. A rung describes the conditions a robot handles without you, not how good it is.

V
Generalized
Any task, any setting
IV
Environmental
Handles new obstacles without help
III
Conditional
Finishes familiar jobs on its own
II
Assisted
Runs preset routines, needs rescue

02 Assessment

Where they actually differ.

The Robovations Score is nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so that more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart. Cost of ownership and data handling are reported on each robot's own page and are never averaged into the score.

None of these robots carries a scored assessment yet, so there is nothing to plot here. The classification and evidence below still apply.

03 Measured against the class

How far apart is a long way?

A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track below is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.

Not compared, because fewer than two of these robots carry a published figure: Price, Suction, Runtime, Charge time, Noise.

04 Ownership

What the numbers leave out.

The trade-off

What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.

1X EVE

Real arm dexterity at the cost of continuous operator availability. Autonomy gains only happen where scripted routes suffice; manipulation defaults to teleop.

Hexagon AEON

Hexagon has never shipped a humanoid before this one, so the 1,000-unit Schaeffler commitment is a bet on a first-generation platform, not a proven one.

The pilot replaces no job outright yet: on-site safety staff remain present at every documented deployment, which is supervision, not autonomy.

Who each one is wrong for

Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.

1X EVE
Consumer home use
Not sold to individuals. No availability pathway. Teleop requirement demands on-site safety staff and operator availability.
Fully autonomous operation
Teleop fallback is primary, not backup. Task completion depends on human pilot intervention. Not suitable for set-and-forget scenarios.
Unstructured environments
Pilot deployments occur in known, pre-mapped spaces with defined hazards. Dense crowds, extreme weather, or novel obstacles exceed current capability scope.
Hexagon AEON
Households or consumer buyers of any kind
AEON is not sold, priced, or available to individual consumers; every documented deployment is an industrial pilot partnership.
Buyers needing unsupervised, hands-off operation today
Every documented deployment runs with on-site safety staff present; no hands-off or unsupervised use has been shown.
Smaller operations wanting a single unit or short trial
The disclosed commitment is roughly 1,000 units with Schaeffler; there is no published path to a small-scale or single-unit order.
Buyers requiring a proven safety or reliability record
No independent safety certification, failure-rate data, or multi-year track record exists yet for this first-generation platform.

What stays your job

The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.

1X EVE
  • As needed: Gripper pad wear and joint lubrication based on pilot deployment logs (undocumented for consumers).
  • Seasonally: Wheel bearing inspection and battery health assessment in outdoor-exposed deployments.
  • As needed: Software updates and sensor recalibration during pilot support cycles.
Hexagon AEON
  • Daily: Battery charging between shifts; no published downtime or hot-swap figures.
  • Weekly: Sensor and camera calibration checks by on-site technical staff.
  • Monthly: Software and behavior updates pushed via Hexagon’s fleet management.
  • Every 3-6 months: Actuator and joint wear inspection; no published parts-replacement cadence.
  • As needed: Wheeled-leg component service; no independent failure or repair data published.
05 Evidence

How much each of these is standing on.

Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.

Robovations classifies robots; it does not rank them. Nothing on this page is a recommendation, and no manufacturer influences a classification or its placement here.
