NEURA Robotics to raise up to $1.4B in Series C funding for physical AI

NEURA Robotics GmbH, a German robotics company founded in 2019, revealed plans to raise up to $1.4 billion in Series C funding from global technology leaders. The capital will support its mission to develop cognitive robots capable of continuous learning, collaboration, and operation in real-world environments through its Neuraverse platform—a shared intelligence ecosystem combining robotics, AI, sensors, edge computing, and large-scale infrastructure. The company’s vision extends beyond traditional AI, aiming to create systems that physically interact with humans in industries like manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and household robotics. NEURA already offers a range of robotic solutions, including light robotic arms (LARA), mobile robots (MAV and MIPA), humanoid robots (4NE1), and sensor kits designed for supply chain and industrial applications. CEO David Reger emphasized the shift from screen-based AI to physical AI, stating that future AI will need to perform tangible tasks alongside humans. To enable this transformation, NEURA is expanding its Neuraverse ecosystem—a decentralized, open platform where robots learn across deployments through real-world sensor interactions, simulations, and multimodal training pipelines. The company is also scaling its global NEURA Gyms, specialized environments that bridge simulation and real-world robotics deployment. NEURA is building a global partner network to strengthen its ecosystem, challenging the notion that AI infrastructure can only emerge from regions like Silicon Valley. Key collaborators include Robert Bosch GmbH (for humanoid robot software), Dassault Systèmes (to close the ‘sim-to-real’ gap), Schaeffler, Kawasaki, Delta Electronics, Qualcomm Technologies, Amazon, and NVIDIA. Reger highlighted NEURA’s position as a global leader in robotics, competing with top firms in the U.S. and China. The funding round underscores NEURA’s ambition to develop foundational technologies that will underpin future industries. By integrating hardware, software, and AI into a cohesive system, the company aims to redefine automation and human-machine collaboration on a global scale.
