NEURA's current estimated 4NE1 Gen 3.5 price is €98,000 per unit for one to 19 units and €60,000 per unit for 20 or more, excluding tax and shipping. The €100 amount on the official 4NE1 reservation page is a refundable fee that reserves a place in the delivery queue and is credited toward a later purchase. It is not the robot price or a completed sales contract.
NEURA says availability is expected at the end of 2026 and warns that hardware and appearance may be refined before release. Expected availability should not be rewritten as guaranteed delivery. The full-scale Gen 3.5 and the education-oriented 4NE1 Mini also have different prices, manipulation equipment and development scope, so a buyer must choose the product before comparing deposits.
Separating estimated price, reservation fee and delivery removes the main confusion
Both €98,000 and €60,000 are estimated unit prices. The 20-plus figure does not mean an industrial buyer should place 20 individual online reservations; NEURA directs commercial or industrial quantities to its contact form. Tax, shipping, site integration, import treatment and country-specific compliance are outside the displayed estimates.
The €100 fee is described as fully refundable before the final purchase agreement and applicable as credit toward the final price. A position in a queue is not a warranty of a particular serial number, design, support territory or arrival date. Preserve the reservation terms and a timestamped copy of the specification shown when payment is made.
| Official item | Displayed term | Correct interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Estimated price, 1-19 units | €98,000 per unit | Tax and shipping excluded |
| Estimated price, 20+ units | €60,000 per unit | Commercial quantity requires direct engagement |
| Reservation fee | €100 per unit | Refundable and credited toward final price |
| Availability | Expected end of 2026 | Not a guaranteed customer delivery date |
Gen 3.5 is the full-scale manipulation and transport offer
The reservation page identifies multimodal interaction, manipulation and transportation as Gen 3.5 use cases and lists integrated high-dexterity hands. Its common interfaces include Wi-Fi 6, Ethernet, a Python SDK, a ROS 2 interface and a C++ SDK, with digital-twin access, teleoperation and readiness for NEURA Gym training also listed.
That overview does not define every API, ROS distribution, control rate, privilege, digital-twin fidelity or software license. A commercial proof of concept should attach the current API documentation, supported versions, sample project, simulator artifact list and acceptance criteria to the order rather than assuming that a feature label guarantees task-level access.
| Gen 3.5 category | Officially listed |
|---|---|
| Target work | Multimodal interaction, manipulation and transportation |
| Manipulation | Integrated high-dexterity hands |
| Developer interfaces | Python SDK, C++ SDK and ROS 2 interface |
| Additional tools | Digital twin, teleoperation and NEURA Gym readiness |
4NE1 Mini is a separate compact platform, not merely a discounted Gen 3.5
The official 4NE1 Mini reservation page estimates Standard at €19,999 and Pro at €29,999, excluding tax and shipping. Standard targets education, basic voice interaction and entertainment without manipulation; Pro adds 12-DoF hands, manipulation and research scope, plus C++ SDK, digital-twin access, teleoperation and NEURA Gym readiness.
The official CES 2026 announcement describes Mini as roughly 132 centimeters tall and suited to science and education because it is easier to handle than a larger humanoid. Gen 3.5 offers a larger human-scale workspace and integrated manipulation. Select by reach, object mass, hands, access and safety envelope rather than using price alone.
A pre-release order needs explicit protection against specification and schedule changes
NEURA states that the design philosophy and core specifications will remain while refinements to hardware and aesthetics may be introduced. That is reasonable for a product approaching release, but it means today's rendering and every detail are not immutable. Ask how material changes will be disclosed and when the buyer may reject or cancel.
Expected availability is not the same date as production completion, export, customs clearance, installation or site acceptance. A project schedule should create separate gates for design freeze, final quote, factory acceptance, shipment, commissioning, safety validation and the first stable task run. A contingency plan is needed if a research or production milestone depends on the robot.
Budget charging, tooling, integration and support outside the estimated unit price
The official FAQ says a Gen 3.5 unit is intended to arrive operational with integrated hands, a high-capacity battery and a dedicated charging station, while specialized or third-party end effectors are not included. The final bill still needs to identify quantities, adapters, spare batteries, charging infrastructure, transport fixtures and any workcell equipment.
Total deployment cost includes the robot, tax and freight, risk assessment, guarding or workspace changes, networking, application development, data governance, training, spares, software subscriptions and downtime. A 20-plus-unit estimate is only economically meaningful after the task and service model have been validated on a smaller deployment.
| Contract checkpoint | Question to settle |
|---|---|
| Included hardware | Hands, battery, charger, tools, adapters and spares |
| Schedule | Difference between expected release and accepted site delivery |
| Development | SDK, ROS 2, digital-twin versions and privileges |
| Lifecycle | Warranty, field support, parts and software-update term |
Reserve only after the use case and evidence gates are written
Recheck the official NEURA homepage for any newer product state before payment. The Physical AI company ecosystem supplies market context, the humanoid robot price guide supplies a total-cost structure and the humanoid robot type guide helps separate compact and full-scale embodiment tradeoffs.
A €100 reservation is a low-cost expression of interest, not technical validation. Write the intended objects, reach, payload, people proximity, success denominator, intervention limit and required interfaces first. Move to a purchase agreement only when the final specification, delivery and cancellation terms can meet those requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Does NEURA 4NE1 Gen 3.5 cost €100?
No. €100 is the refundable reservation fee. The current estimated unit price is €98,000 for one to 19 units or €60,000 for 20 or more, excluding tax and shipping.
Does a reservation guarantee delivery at the end of 2026?
No guarantee is stated. NEURA describes availability as expected at the end of 2026 and notes that hardware and appearance may be refined before release.
What is the main difference between Gen 3.5 and 4NE1 Mini?
Gen 3.5 is the full-scale manipulation and transport platform with integrated high-dexterity hands. Mini is a compact education and research platform whose Standard and Pro versions differ in hands and development tools.
