Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper: H1 or NEO?
NEO is cheaper at $20,000 vs $90,000 for H1. 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 H1 and NEO 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.
Which is better for ROS-based development: H1 or NEO?
H1 has ros2; NEO has no ROS support. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
Does H1 or NEO use LiDAR?
H1 ships with LiDAR for depth sensing; NEO does not. LiDAR adds cost and complexity but improves obstacle detection in low-light or low-contrast environments.
