4NE1

The First Cognitive Industrial Humanoid. 4NE1 (pronounced "For Anyone") is Europe’s leading humanoid robot, engineered for high-precision, human-safe collaboration in the world's most demanding manufacturing environments.

Robot overview

The 2026 iteration of the 4NE1 represents the pinnacle of "Made in Germany" robotics. Designed in collaboration with Studio F.A. Porsche, the robot features a sleek, professional aesthetic that houses industrial-grade cognitive hardware. Unlike competitors that focus purely on movement, 4NE1 is a "cognitive-first" machine, utilising its proprietary AURA AI to see, hear, and "feel" its surroundings with human-like intuition.

Central to its enterprise readiness is its integration with SAP S/4HANA EWM. In 2026, 4NE1 units are already performing autonomous picking and logistics tasks in live facilities (such as BITZER in Germany), where they react to warehouse orders in real-time. It is the first humanoid to operate in "cage-free" environments alongside humans, thanks to its proximity-sensing artificial skin.

Technical Breakthroughs

Artificial "Touch" Skin: 4NE1 is equipped with a patented sensor-rich skin that detects human presence and touch before actual contact occurs. This makes it the highest-rated humanoid for collaborative safety (Cobot standards), allowing it to work in high-traffic production zones without safety fencing.
Massive Payload Capacity: While many humanoids struggle with loads over 20 kg, 4NE1’s high-torque electric actuators—co-developed with Schaeffler—allow specific models to handle payloads of up to 100 kg (220 lbs), far exceeding human ergonomic limits.
The Neuraverse™ Ecosystem: Every 4NE1 is connected to a shared intelligence network. When one robot learns a new skill at a NEURA Gym (a physical training center co-developed with NVIDIA), that skill is instantly available to the entire global fleet via cloud updates.
Omnisensor™ 360° Vision: A unified sensor head that combines 3D vision, acoustic localization, and environmental monitoring. This allows 4NE1 to recognize specific coworkers, understand natural language commands, and operate effectively in low-light or dusty factory conditions.

Deployment

+ Scalability

The Bosch Power-Up: In January 2026, NEURA and Bosch announced a landmark partnership to mass-produce 4NE1. Bosch is currently deploying "sensor-suit" training for thousands of its workers to feed real-world movement data into 4NE1’s AI models, while also assisting in scaling the robot's hardware production.
The "Neura Hive" Production: To meet its target of 5 million units by 2030, NEURA has implemented a revolutionary "Hive" assembly method, where cognitive robots themselves assemble 4NE1 units, creating a self-scaling manufacturing loop.
Open Marketplace for Skills: Through the Neuraverse, third-party developers can publish "Skill Apps" for the 4NE1. Enterprises can "download" new capabilities—like precision welding, shelf stocking, or laboratory pipetting - to their robots instantly.
Global Support Network: With a team that has grown to over 600 experts and a strong European industrial base, NEURA offers 24/7 "Enterprise-Grade" uptime guarantees, a critical requirement for Tier-1 automotive and aerospace suppliers.
