NEURA Robotics has indicated a target price of around $200,000 for early units, but final MSRP has not been confirmed. Contact the manufacturer for a quote.
It is designed for light manufacturing, logistics support, and domestic assistance tasks like picking objects, carrying items, and basic assembly. Its cognitive platform enables learning new tasks from demonstration.
As of 2026, the 4NE-1 is a prototype and not available for purchase. An upgraded model, the 4NE1, has been listed for pre‑sale by some distributors, but the 4NE-1 itself remains in development.
The 4NE-1 targets a price around $200,000 compared to Optimus’s $20,000 target. It offers a cognitive software stack and force‑sensitive whole‑body control, while Optimus aims for mass production and deep Tesla AI integration. Both are pre‑commercial.
Height: 180 cm, weight: 80 kg, 30 degrees of freedom, bipedal walking speed up to 4 km/h, payload 15 kg, battery life up to 6 hours.
NEURA Robotics, a German company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Metzingen, Germany, develops and builds the 4NE-1.
The installed battery provides up to 6 hours of operation per charge according to NEURA’s research data, though some third‑party sources claim 2 hours. Charging time and swappable capability have not been disclosed.
Target industries include manufacturing (light assembly), logistics (warehouse support), domestic assistance (household chores), and healthcare (elder care). No commercial deployments have been reported yet.
