Video of NEURA's 4NE1 Gen4 humanoid, unveiled at the TUM Convergence Center opening at Munich Airport, is drawing split reactions on LinkedIn. Roboticist Georg von Wichert shared the clip; commenters joked about the all-black look, a safety specialist flagged high-power unstable systems near people, others questioned why humanoids need two legs over wheels and a low center of gravity, and one European engineer called the 2026-level motion "oversized toys," worrying Europe has missed the train.
