Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper: SE01 or 4NE-1?
SE01 is cheaper at $20,000 vs $105,000 for 4NE-1. Note that lower price does not imply lower total cost of ownership — see the TCO calculator on the Explore page for utilisation-adjusted figures.
Are both SE01 and 4NE-1 shipping to customers?
Yes. Both are commercially available as of the last review. Delivery timelines and customer geographies vary per vendor — check the manufacturer page for each.
Does SE01 or 4NE-1 use LiDAR?
SE01 ships with LiDAR for depth sensing; 4NE-1 does not. LiDAR adds cost and complexity but improves obstacle detection in low-light or low-contrast environments.
