Metzingen, June 24, 2025: NEURA Robotics, a pioneer in cognitive robotics, is presenting several innovations at Automatica 2025. Foremost among these are the world premiere of the third generation of the humanoid robot 4NE1, the market launch of the cognitive household and service robot MiPA, and the open robotics ecosystem Neuraverse. With this, NEURA Robotics achieves a milestone for all of cognitive robotics, making it suitable for the mass market for the first time.
David Reger, founder and CEO of NEURA Robotics, says: “Cognitive robotics is the next technological revolution—and it is happening right here and now. Cognitive robots will fundamentally change the way we live and work. At NEURA, we are not only pioneers on the hardware side but also develop the underlying software and AI. Our goal is to deliver five million robots by 2030—for industry, services, and the home. NEURA is doing for robotics what the iPhone did for smartphones. We do this responsibly, with a team our partners worldwide can rely on.”
The New Standard for Humanoid Robots: 4NE1
With 4NE1 (“For Anyone”), NEURA Robotics presents a humanoid robot that can work autonomously and safely with humans in real environments. It operates without protective cages and features cognitive intelligence, enabling it to perceive its surroundings independently, make decisions, and learn from experience. The patented NEURA Omnisensor marks a breakthrough in safe human-robot collaboration: 4NE1 can reliably distinguish people from objects, recognize them, and adapt its behavior accordingly. This technology enables direct collaboration with robots.
4NE1 features an intelligent dual-battery system for uninterrupted 24/7 operation, can lift up to 100 kilograms thanks to powerful joint technology, and is equipped with fine-motor, learning-capable hands. This makes it suitable not only for complex industrial tasks but also for household or service sector activities.
Another technical innovation is its “Artificial Skin.” This sensor skin detects touches just before actual contact, making human-robot interaction even more precise and safe.
To enable rapid, fully automated production of the humanoid robot, NEURA Robotics has developed the entirely new “NEURA Hive” production method. Like a beehive, several robots arranged in a circle assemble components of the humanoid 4NE1 in a confined space. With 4NE1, humanoid robotics becomes scalable for the first time.
Market Launch of the First Cognitive Household and Service Robot
With MiPA (“My intelligent Personal Assistant”), NEURA Robotics is presenting at Automatica the world’s first cognitive household and service robot suitable for real everyday use. Whether in retail, care, or the home: MiPA was developed to address the shortage of skilled workers in service industries and to make robot technology affordable for private households for the first time.
MiPA is more than just a product—like all NEURA robots, it is an open, interoperable platform. The robot’s cognitive abilities are based on NEURA’s industrial AI architecture and can be expanded via the Neuraverse. Partners can develop applications (“skills”) on this platform, such as vacuuming, unloading the dishwasher, tidying rooms, or health monitoring.
NEURA also emphasizes openness in hardware: MiPA supports interoperable IoT components developed together with partners from the white goods, healthtech, and smart home sectors. For example, MiPA can be connected to wearables to collect vital data, analyze sleep, or support elderly people in everyday life.
MiPA can already be reserved and will soon be available for order. Deliveries are planned to begin in 2025.
Neuraverse: The Technology Ecosystem for Cognitive Robotics
A central element of the Automatica presentation is the Neuraverse, an open and learning robotics ecosystem. It connects robots and enables the simple development and use of robot applications—like an app store.
In the Neuraverse, robots share their learning experiences from real-world applications. What one robot can do, all others can learn simultaneously. This creates an intelligent network that radically increases innovation, safety, and efficiency. Developers, companies, and specialists can contribute their own modules and applications—a democratic engine of innovation for robotics.
What makes the Neuraverse special is its modular, secure structure: companies, developers, and application partners can drive innovation together without risking their intellectual
property. Initial applications—such as the joint welding solution with Abicor Binzel—already show how humans and robots can collaborate in real time. The robot continuously adapts and improves its performance. Every developer can sell their contributed assets to interested users.
To further improve the quality of training data, NEURA Robotics is building its own physical AI training centers. In so-called “NEURA Gyms,” data from real application scenarios is generated. Combined with synthetic data from the Neuraverse, a highly complex, transferable model emerges. Once a skill is successfully trained, it can be transferred to all other robots.
At NEURA Robotics’ approximately 800 m² booth at Automatica, the Neuraverse can be experienced: all robots, exhibits, and demonstrators are networked live—in real time.
David Reger, founder and CEO of NEURA Robotics, says: We are not only bringing groundbreaking robotics technologies to Automatica but also showing how the future works. With 4NE1 and MiPA, we are fundamentally changing how people interact with machines. Our Neuraverse is the product that connects everything—the operating system of the robotics era.”
Pioneering a New Era
With around 600 employees, NEURA is already well positioned. The company also sees itself as an enabler and forms partnerships with renowned brands worldwide: from Europe, China, and the USA, as well as markets like Japan, Taiwan, and others. The goal is to provide foundational technologies on which others can build. Leading robotics companies such as Omron, Kawasaki, and Delta already rely on NEURA’s technology and market NEURA products as white-label solutions.
Vodafone has become NEURA’s connectivity partner for Automatica. Especially with cognitive robots equipped with numerous sensors, enormous amounts of data are generated. 5G connectivity is therefore particularly important for the further development of these technologies.
NEURA is working with NVIDIA on the implementation of NEURA Gyms. NEURA robots have also been developed with NVIDIA’s Isaac simulation and learning platforms, Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab. They are powered by the GR00T N1 model for advanced cognition and task performance, as well as NVIDIA Jetson for onboard computing power.
In a strategic collaboration with SAP and NVIDIA, NEURA combines cutting-edge robotics with SAP’s AI and NVIDIA’s digital twin technology to bring physical business AI to life.
Furthermore, NEURA showcases a range of partners implementing robotics developments on its platform. In partnership with Flexion, NEURA Robotics is expanding the Neuraverse with new mobility and full-body coordination capabilities, giving its robots greater agility and
robustness in daily use. Schaeffler Special Machinery and Schunk are also part of the partner network.
