Overview
NEURA Robotics' flagship cognitive humanoid, unveiled in successive generations through CES 2026 (Porsche-studio industrial design). Full-size (~180 cm), high lift capacity (company cites up to ~100 kg), 360° perception, force-torque sensing, and tactile 'artificial skin'; runs on NVIDIA Isaac GR00T. Pre-orders open; first industrial units targeted to ship late 2026. A smaller '4NE-1 Mini' variant is also offered. REVIEW NOTE: lift-capacity and DOF figures are company-stated; height/mass vary across sources (kept conservative here). Spec-disclosure note: specifications are manufacturer-stated and have shifted across generations (the earlier 4NE-1 was listed at roughly 170 cm, 60 kg, 15 kg payload, while the Gen 3.5 claims 180 cm, 80 kg, and a 100 kg maximum lift). Third-party trackers note these generational jumps have not been independently verified in public demonstrations. DEPLOY records these specifications as manufacturer-claimed pending independent verification.

REVIEW NOTE: lift-capacity and DOF figures are company-stated; height/mass vary across sources (kept conservative here).
- Is NEURA 4NE-1 actually deployed in the real world?
- NEURA 4NE-1 is at the research stage: it exists, but DEPLOY has no verified real-world deployment on record. Manufacturer capability claims should be read as claims pending independent verification.
- Who makes NEURA 4NE-1?
- NEURA 4NE-1 is made by NEURA Robotics, based in Metzingen, Germany, founded in 2019.
- What AI powers NEURA 4NE-1?
- NEURA 4NE-1 runs Neuraverse Cognitive Stack. Each brain assignment is verified at the registry level via primary sources.
- What are alternatives to NEURA 4NE-1?
- On the DEPLOY registry, comparable humanoid robots to NEURA 4NE-1 include Digit, Walker S2, Apollo, Unitree H2 Plus.
- How does NEURA 4NE-1 compare to Digit?
- NEURA 4NE-1 and Digit (Agility Robotics · 8 deployments) are both humanoid robots on the DEPLOY registry. NEURA 4NE-1 has 0 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.
- Is NEURA 4NE-1 a top humanoid?
- On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, NEURA 4NE-1 ranks in roughly the top 2% of humanoid models tracked by the registry.
- What is NEURA 4NE-1's maturity stage?
- NEURA 4NE-1 is at the research stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Research stage means active development without commercial deployments on file.
- Where is NEURA 4NE-1 deployed?
- No verified deployments of NEURA 4NE-1 are currently on the DEPLOY registry. DEPLOY records deployments only when verified at a named site with a primary source; absence may reflect pre-deployment, research, or manufacturer-internal use.
- Is NEURA 4NE-1 safe?
- NEURA 4NE-1 has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
