This is a research record, not a curated recommendation.
The main field guide selects 14 companion robots for deeper review. This entry belongs to a separate 53-record index that also covers industrial, research, and developer systems.
Research summary
What the record says.
4NE1 (pronounced 'for anyone') is NEURA Robotics' full-size humanoid and Europe's most prominent entry in the race. The third generation premiered at Automatica in June 2025: 180 centimeters, a claimed lift capacity up to 100 kilograms, dual swappable batteries, NEURA's Omnisensor perception module and 'artificial skin' contact sensing, plus the Neuraverse app-store ecosystem for robot skills.
NEURA's June 2026 Series C, led by Tether with participation including NVIDIA, Amazon, Qualcomm, Bosch, Schaeffler and the European Investment Bank, could reach $1.4 billion at a reported valuation around $7 billion. The company claims an order book and deployment pipeline exceeding $1 billion; volume shipments are expected to begin in late 2026, and a smaller 4NE1 Mini appeared at Automate 2026 alongside a US expansion push with AWS and Qualcomm partnerships.
Reported pricing of about 98,000 euros per unit (falling toward 60,000 at fleet volume) comes from third-party trackers, not an official list. No completed customer delivery of a 4NE1 had been verified as of July 2026.

Disputed or unverified.
- The EUR 98,000 price and 'Gen 3.5 ships late 2026' claims rest on weak third-party sourcing
- The $1B+ order book is a company statement without published customer breakdown
