NEURA Robotics will exhibit its complete cognitive‑robot portfolio, the Neuraverse cloud platform, and NEURA Gyms training environments at Automate 2026 in Chicago from June 22‑25. The showcase follows the company’s record‑breaking Series C financing of up to $1.4 billion, the largest ever raised by a full‑stack robotics firm, and signals a focused expansion into the U.S. market. By bringing a twin‑island booth to McCormick Place, NEURA aims to demonstrate how its integrated hardware‑software ecosystem can deliver “Physical AI” that learns, adapts, and scales across real‑world factories, addressing labor shortages and the growing demand for intelligent automation. Founder and CEO David Reger emphasizes that American manufacturers are ready for solutions that move beyond isolated cobots to a unified platform where every robot contributes data back to a shared intelligence pool.
NEURA Robotics Presents Full‑Stack Robotics at Automate 2026
NEURA will occupy a twin‑island booth at McCormick Place, offering live demonstrations of every robot family in its lineup. The display includes the 4NE1 flagship humanoid, the compact 4NE1 Mini, the MAIRA cognitive robot for bin‑picking and precision tasks, the LARA arm for palletizing and PCB handling, the MAV+ mobile autonomous transport robot, and a quadruped platform. Interactive exhibits will also feature the NEURA Gym training environment and a digital twin of the Neuraverse marketplace.
The booth’s layout is designed to guide visitors through a logical automation journey: starting with collaborative robots that work side‑by‑side with humans, moving to mobile transports that shuttle parts across the floor, and culminating with the humanoid 4NE1 that can perform complex, dexterous operations. Each robot is shown operating under the same cloud‑based Neuraverse framework, illustrating how data from one deployment instantly enriches the collective knowledge base.
Founder and CEO David Reger will speak at two sessions on Tuesday, June 23: the Humanoid Robot Forum opener panel (12:45‑1:30 p.m. CDT) and a keynote on “The Impact of Physical AI in Industrial Worlds” (3:00‑3:30 p.m. CDT). Reger said, “As we expand into the U.S., we are proud to bring one of the broadest cognitive robotics portfolios in the industry to Automate… American manufacturers are ready for automation that actually moves the needle.” His remarks reinforce NEURA’s thesis that physical AI must be trained, validated, and continuously improved in real‑world settings, not just in simulation.
Neuraverse Platform and NEURA Gyms Enable Physical AI at Scale
At the core of NEURA’s offering is the Neuraverse, an open, cloud‑based platform that links robots, developers, and industry partners worldwide. Each deployment feeds real‑world data back into the platform, creating a shared pool of physical intelligence that “gets smarter with every robot, at every site,” according to the announcement. This continuous feedback loop allows new robots to inherit lessons learned from previous installations, dramatically shortening the time required to teach machines new capabilities.
NEURA Gyms complement the platform by providing a global network of real‑world training facilities. Partners can train and validate robots across all form factors before full industrial rollout. Data collected in the Gyms combines physical robot interaction with high‑fidelity simulation, then flows directly into the Neuraverse to accelerate deployment and reduce adoption risk. The Gyms also serve as proving grounds for collaborative projects with select industrial partners, showcasing use‑cases such as bin‑picking with MAIRA, high‑speed palletizing with LARA, and autonomous material transport with MAV+.
Together, the Neuraverse and Gyms create a scalable path toward Physical AI at industrial scale. By unifying hardware, software, and data, NEURA promises faster time‑to‑value for customers, lower total cost of ownership, and an open environment where system integrators, developers, and OEMs can innovate without being locked into proprietary stacks.
Record Series C Funding Fuels U.S. Expansion and Global Rollout
NEURA announced a Series C round of up to $1.4 billion, the largest ever raised by a full‑stack robotics company. Investors include Tether, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Amazon, NVIDIA, imec.xpand, Bosch, Schaeffler, the European Investment Bank, Lingotto Horizon, InterAlpen Partners, and others.
The financing will back NEURA’s global expansion, with a “determined push into the U.S. market” anchored by a strategic collaboration with AWS and a co‑development partnership with Qualcomm. It will also fund the worldwide rollout of NEURA Gyms, including planned U.S. locations. NEURA reports an existing order book and deployment pipeline that already exceed $1 billion, underscoring strong commercial traction.
Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Metzingen, Germany, NEURA describes itself as a “global Physical AI company” building robots that can see, hear, feel, and learn, together with the software and data infrastructure needed for large‑scale deployment. The company’s mission is to make physical skills scalable by dramatically reducing the time required to teach machines new capabilities and deploy them globally.
Key Takeaways
- NEURA will demonstrate its full cognitive‑robot portfolio, the Neuraverse platform, and NEURA Gyms at Automate 2026 in Chicago (June 22‑25).
- The Neuraverse connects robots and partners in a cloud‑based ecosystem; NEURA Gyms provide real‑world training facilities that feed data back into the platform.
- NEURA secured up to $1.4 billion in Series C financing—the largest ever for a full‑stack robotics firm—to fund U.S. market entry, AWS collaboration, Qualcomm co‑development, and global Gym rollout.
TechInsyte's Take
NEURA’s debut at Automate underscores its ambition to become a one‑stop supplier for enterprises seeking cognitive robots and a shared AI infrastructure. The scale of its Series C round suggests confidence from major tech and industrial investors, but the company’s ability to translate that capital into widespread U.S. deployments remains to be seen. CIOs and automation leaders should monitor the rollout of NEURA Gyms and the integration of the Neuraverse with existing cloud ecosystems to assess fit for their own automation roadmaps.
