Neura Robotics raises record Series C of $1.4 billion to accelerate physical AI platform

by

Neura Robotics, a pioneer in cognitive robotics and creator of the Neuraverse, has announced a landmark Series C financing with a total round size of up to $1.4 billion to accelerate its mission of building what the company says is “the world’s leading physical AI platform”.

This level of fundraising would suggest a valuation of anywhere between $8 billion and $15 billion, according to one industry expert.

The financing brings together global leaders across AI, robotics, compute, manufacturing and industrial infrastructure, including Tether, Qualcomm Technologies, Amazon, Nvidia, imec.xpand, Bosch, Schaeffler, European Investment Bank, Lingotto Horizon, InterAlpen Partners and others.

Neura is building a new category of AI infrastructure where cognitive robots continuously learn, collaborate and operate across real world environments through a shared intelligence ecosystem called the Neuraverse.

From transport to handling: Neura demonstrates end-to-end mobile manipulation for intralogistics

by

Neura Mobile Robots has presented an application for mobile manipulation in intralogistics for the first time at LogiMAT. Under its ek Robotics brand, Neura demonstrated how mobile transport robotics and cognitive robotics can be combined into a seamless system, enabling a new level of automation.

At the heart of the application is the combination of the X Move 1200 automated guided vehicle platform from Neura Mobile Robots and the MAiRA M cognitive cobot from Neura Robotics. The integrated solution makes it possible not only to transport materials, but also to directly grasp, retrieve, and store or retrieve them.

For the first time, users can fully automate transport and handling processes without manual handovers. This reduces process times, lowers error rates, and significantly increases system availability.

Neura Robotics and Drees & Sommer launch strategic partnership for robotics-ready buildings

by

Neura Robotics, a developer of cognitive robotics and physical AI, has agreed a partnership with Drees & Sommer, an international consulting firm for construction and infrastructure.

Together, the two companies aim not only to plan and operate buildings, but also to design them as learning, interactive systems and as environments that work together with humans and robots in real time.

Initially, the companies will focus on solutions for sanitary facilities, an area in which the need for automation, hygiene and availability is particularly acute. [Read more…] about Neura Robotics and Drees & Sommer launch strategic partnership for robotics-ready buildings

Neura Robotics showcases new humanoid, quadruped, and AI platform at CES 2026

by

Neura Robotics used CES 2026 in Las Vegas to present a new generation of robots and demonstrate its Neuraverse software platform, positioning the system as a shared operating layer for connected robotic systems.

The company exhibited an updated version of its humanoid robot, 4NE1, alongside a smaller variant called 4NE1 Mini, and a newly introduced quadruped robot.

All three systems were shown operating within the Neuraverse platform, which Neura describes as a way of enabling robots to share learned skills and operational data across devices and environments. [Read more…] about Neura Robotics showcases new humanoid, quadruped, and AI platform at CES 2026

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol partners with Neura Robotics to test new autonomous ground-operations robot

by

Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is testing a new autonomous system designed to automate one of the most physically demanding and time-critical ground-handling tasks: connecting aircraft to ground power units (GPUs).

The technology, known as ARC (Autonomous Robot for GPU Connection), has been developed in collaboration with KLM and Neura Robotics and was recently demonstrated live at the airport.

The project aims to address growing operational pressures at airports, where staff shortages and physically intensive work have made GPU connection a persistent bottleneck. [Read more…] about Amsterdam Airport Schiphol partners with Neura Robotics to test new autonomous ground-operations robot

Neura Robotics and HD Hyundai partner to bring humanoid robots to shipbuilding

by

Neura Robotics has signed a strategic agreement with HD Hyundai Samho and HD Hyundai Robotics to develop and test humanoid and quadruped robots for use in the shipbuilding industry.

The partnership, announced during the Automatica trade show in Munich at the end of June, brings together German cognitive robotics expertise and Korean shipbuilding and automation capabilities.

The companies say the goal is to deploy intelligent robotic systems to boost safety, productivity, and operational efficiency in one of the world’s most demanding industrial environments. [Read more…] about Neura Robotics and HD Hyundai partner to bring humanoid robots to shipbuilding

Record-breaking attendance at this year’s automatica event
