Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper: R1 or 4NE-1?
R1 is cheaper at $5,900 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 R1 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.
Which is better for ROS-based development: R1 or 4NE-1?
R1 has ros2; 4NE-1 has no ROS support. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
