During these days of Ifa in Berlin we have encountered the latest in humanoid robots. In this case, the proposal of the German Neura Robotics stands out: 4ne1his humanoid robot designed for the domestic public. With 180 centimeters high, 80 kilos of weight and a price of about 60,000 euros, this machine aims to reach homes in 2026 with the ambition to become the first truly useful cognitive robot for day -to -day basis.
What makes 4ne1 special. Throughout the last years we have seen robots do practically everything. However, we have also seen an increasingly tangible approach to the domestic field. Tesla wants to get ahead With optimus And from Europe, Neura Robotics, is another of the closest companies to achieve this achievement.
In the case of 4ne1, which is currently in its third generation, Neura has equipped it with 55 degrees of freedom of movementtact -sensitive artificial skin, 360 degree vision and ability to lift up to 100 kilos depending on the circumstances. The company promises That can iron, download the dishwasher, transport heavy objects and adapt to changing environments without specific programming.
The brain behind the machine. 4ne1 integrates advanced artificial intelligence based on NVIDIA GR00T ModelJetson processors for local computing and its own operating system called Neuron OS. His “omnisensors” patented along with seven cameras allows him to distinguish between people and objects, recognize individuals and adapt their behavior to work directly with humans. During the IFA we have seen it in action, and although at first glance it seems little agile when performing domestic tasks, such as doing the casting, its versatility is its great trick to enter this market.
Further beyond the environment domestic. Although the domestic approach is clear, 4NE1 is also designed for industrial and services environments. In fact, Hyundai showed a while ago Your construction capabilities. It has a 24 -hour autonomy that achieves it thanks to a smart battery system. It also reaches a maximum speed of 5 km/h.
An ecosystem for all your robots. The project key is in Neuraversean open platform that works as an application store for robots. In this ecosystem, robots can share learning experiences, since what one learns, can all learn it simultaneously. Neura has established alliances with Vodafone for 5G, SAP and NVIDIA connectivity to enhance this smart network.
Neura’s ambition in Europe. The company’s objective is to deliver five million units before 2030, positioning the European response to Tesla optimus. David Reger, CEO of the company, already assured A while ago “we are the first company to bring cognitive humanoid robots to the mass market.” “Neura is doing for robotics what the iPhone did for smartphones. We do it responsible, with a team in which our partners from around the world can trust,” he continued.
It will not be cheap. The commercial launch planned for 2026 will be the fire test to determine if the domestic market is really prepared to integrate humanoid robots of 60,000 euros. Success will depend on a wide range of factors, and not only on the technical abilities of the robot. Its ease of use and the operation of that applications ecosystem will also be crucial to determine its adoption. We will have to wait to know if it ends up convincing.
