Overview

Germany's best-known humanoid effort, from the maker of MAiRA and LARA cognitive cobots. Early 4NE-1 versions were shown from 2023, with an updated generation at Automatica 2025. NEURA pitches a "Neuraverse" app ecosystem shared across its robots. As of September 2026 the full-size 4NE1 Gen 3.5 is reservation-only, with availability expected at the end of 2026.

NEURA showed 4NE1 Gen 4 in October 2026. It has a slimmer body with a textile skin and is 20% lighter than the generation before. NEURA says it runs its NEURON AI model locally on the robot and is being prepared for series production. No Gen 4 price has been published.
