NEURA to Advance Cognitive and Humanoid Robots Using NVIDIA Isaac

Metzingen, Germany, July 30th, 2024

Advancement in Cognitive Robot Development

With access to a wide range of NVIDIA technologies specifically designed for developing next-generation robots, NEURA Robotics will use its cutting-edge knowledge in cobot applications to  train cognitive and humanoid robots with the NVIDIA Isaac platform, including Isaac Lab and Isaac Sim for faster robot training with various scenarios in simulation.

NEURA Robotics, a pioneer in cognitive robotics, today announced it is joining the NVIDIA Humanoid Robot Developer Program and using the NVIDIA Isaac robot development platform with the NEURA Robotics’ Neuraverse platform to help speed up the development and deployment of both cognitive and humanoid robots.

The NEURA product portfolio includes cobots for current industrial applications (LARA series), the first cognitive cobot (MAiRA), mobile robots and manipulators, and the 4NE-1 humanoid robot. This provides robotics developers with a diverse robot portfolio based on a single AI-integrated platform, connected through Neuraverse, which benefits from the integration of capabilities offered by NVIDIA Isaac.

 

Developers can build robotic assistants that are application-specific using NEURA Robotics products built with NVIDIA technologies, such as NVIDIA Jetson Thor for demanding compute capabilities, that can enhance on-device AI to deliver high performance to customers.

Ambitious visions accelerated

NEURA Robotics aims to deliver up to 5  million humanoid and cognitive robots worldwide by 2030. Training for various applications in diverse real-world environments would entail time-consuming processes. Through the NVIDIA Humanoid Robot Developer Program, NEURA Robotics brings l NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab capabilities to NEURA Robotics to simulate more robots in parallel using reinforcement learning. This is crucial for modern data-intensive deep learning models. NVIDIA Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab, and NVIDIA NIM microservices for robot simulation and learning, along with the NVIDIA OSMO orchestration service, simplify and scale complex model architectures. These tools and technologies will help NEURA Robotics achieve its growth and delivery goals faster.

Quote from David Reger, CEO of NEURA Robotics

David Reger, founder and visionary of NEURA Robotics, commented on the collaboration: “This initiative aligns perfectly with our mission to serve humanity using groundbreaking robotic technologies. We are excited to collaborate with NVIDIA to help advance robotics operations, control, and simulation. By combining NEURA’s innovative cognitive robotics solutions with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and simulation platforms, we’re equipped to push the boundaries of humanoid robotics even faster.”

About NEURA Robotics

Founded in 2019 by David Reger in Metzingen, NEURA Robotics aims to fill significant innovation gaps in robotics and usher in the era of cognitive robots. NEURA’s philosophy is to embody AI and emphasise collaboration between humans and machines to increase productivity and improve the quality of life, thereby serving humanity. The company integrates all components and sensors, as well as artificial intelligence, into one device, much like a smartphone manufacturer, and offers partners a platform for the joint development of application apps for various fields. All the new technological components required for this approach, including AI, are developed by NEURA Robotics itself, setting new standards in intelligence, precision, and safety. NEURA cognitive robots can see, hear, and have a sense of touch. They operate  completely autonomously and learn from experience.
