Neura Robotics 4NE-1
German general-purpose humanoid with 55 degrees of freedom, touch-sensitive skin and 360-degree perception, for industrial and service work.
Reservations are open with a refundable €100 deposit; Gen 3.5 deliveries are expected at the end of 2026.
Very good humanoid robot (81/100). It stands out most for mobility (dof) (100/100). Highlight: official public price. Main trade-off: deliveries only end 2026.

Owner reviews
A strong humanoid robot with real strengths
In our independent assessment, the Neura Robotics 4NE-1 earns 81/100 — a very good humanoid robot.
Its strongest area is mobility (dof) (100/100), followed by payload (90/100). In practice, official public price.
The main caveat is top speed, where it scores 77/100. Specifically, deliveries only end 2026.
At €98000, it sits at the premium end of the category. A dependable pick if its strengths line up with your priorities.

Can I actually buy a humanoid robot?
Yes, but mostly research and developer models (Unitree, Booster, EngineAI and others) that ship today. Most general-purpose humanoids are still in paid pilots, pre-order or prototype: check the Availability line before you plan around one.
How much does a humanoid robot cost?
Small developer humanoids start at a few thousand euros; full-size research platforms start around 17,000 € and advanced ones reach about 100,000 € or more. Industrial humanoids are usually sold or leased on quote, so no public price is listed.
What can humanoids do today?
Current models walk, balance, carry modest payloads and perform scripted, learned or teleoperated tasks. Fully autonomous household help is still emerging.
What do degrees of freedom (DoF) tell me?
Each DoF is one joint axis the robot can move. More DoF, especially in the hands, means more dexterous manipulation, but also more to calibrate and maintain.
Do they come with an SDK?
Research-focused humanoids ship with an open SDK or ROS support for programming and experiments; commercial units are typically locked to the vendor's software.
