Frequently asked questions
How do 4NE-1 and Sophia compare on price?
4NE-1: $105,000. Sophia: Contact (R&D version available). Only one of the two has a public unit price; the other publishes a range or enterprise-only terms.
Which has higher payload: 4NE-1 or Sophia?
4NE-1 rates a higher payload at 15 kg vs 1.2 kg. Payload ratings are vendor claims and do not always include a duty cycle — peak vs sustained payload can differ significantly.
Are both 4NE-1 and Sophia 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: 4NE-1 or Sophia?
4NE-1 has no ROS support; Sophia has ROS 1 only. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
