Cons
- Unit price not publicly disclosed (quote-on-request or enterprise-only)
- Low rated payload (3 kg) — research or light-handling tasks only
- Short runtime (120 min) — frequent recharging or battery swaps
4NE-1
Pros
- Long runtime (7h per charge) for full-shift operation
- 55 degrees of freedom — full-body articulation
Cons
- Still in development, no commercial availability
- Closed software stack — no public SDK or ROS support
Frequently asked questions
How do GR-2 and 4NE-1 compare on price?
GR-2: Contact. 4NE-1: $114,500. Only one of the two has a public unit price; the other publishes a range or enterprise-only terms.
Which has higher payload: GR-2 or 4NE-1?
4NE-1 rates a higher payload at 15 kg vs 3 kg. Payload ratings are vendor claims and do not always include a duty cycle — peak vs sustained payload can differ significantly.
Is GR-2 or 4NE-1 actually available to buy?
GR-2 is shipping to customers. 4NE-1 is in active development without commercial availability. Status reflects the vendor's published commercial position as of the last review and can change between announcement and actual delivery.
Which is better for ROS-based development: GR-2 or 4NE-1?
GR-2 has ROS 1 only; 4NE-1 has no ROS support. For research and multi-vendor robotics stacks, native ROS 2 is the strongest signal of ecosystem maturity.
