Insider Brief
- Neura Robotics has secured a Series C funding round of up to $1.4 billion to expand deployment of its cognitive robots and humanoids and further develop its physical AI platform.
- The round includes backing from investors and strategic partners including Tether, Qualcomm Technologies, Amazon, Nvidia, Bosch, Schaeffler, the European Investment Bank, Lingotto Horizon, InterAlpen Partners and imec.xpand.
- Neura said the funding will support expansion of its Neuraverse robotics platform, scaling of manufacturing and deployment infrastructure, development of next-generation physical AI systems and growth of its robot training facilities known as NEURA Gyms, while also advancing decentralized AI architectures, edge intelligence and what it describes as “machine-native economic systems.”
Neura Robotics has secured a Series C funding round of up to $1.4 billion as the German robotics company looks to expand deployment of its cognitive robots and further develop its Physical AI platform.
According to the company, the round includes backing from a group of big name technology, industrial and financial investors, including Tether, Qualcomm Technologies, Amazon, Nvidia, Bosch, Schaeffler, the European Investment Bank, Lingotto Horizon, InterAlpen Partners and imec.xpand, among others. The company claims it is the largest funding round ever for a full-stack robtoics company.
“The future of AI will not only live on screens,” founder and CEO David Reger said in the announcement. “It will move, interact, learn and work beside us in the real world. We believe Physical AI and cognitive robotics will become one of the largest technology shifts of the coming decades, transforming industries ranging from manufacturing and logistics to healthcare, services and household robotics.”
Neura said the new capital will support global deployment of its cognitive robots and humanoids, expansion of the Neuraverse robotics platform, scaling of manufacturing and deployment infrastructure and development of next-generation physical AI systems.
The new capital will also support expansion of its Neura Gyms, training facilities where robots learn and are evaluated using a combination of real-world interaction, simulation and multimodal AI systems. The company said it views these environments as a way to generate data and improve robot performance across a range of tasks.
Founded in 2019, Neura develops cognitive robots and humanoid systems designed to operate in industrial, logistics, healthcare and service environments. The company’s strategy centers on creating a shared software ecosystem, known as the Neuraverse, that allows robots to exchange skills, operational data and learned capabilities across deployments.
According to the company, its current order book and deployment pipeline exceed $1 billion.
The German company has established partnerships with industrial and technology firms including Bosch, Schaeffler, Kawasaki, Delta Electronics, Qualcomm Technologies, Amazon and Nvidia. These collaborations span robotics hardware, industrial automation, AI computing and deployment infrastructure.
Neura said it is also investing in decentralized AI architectures, edge intelligence and what it calls “machine-native economic systems” as part of a broader effort to build open robotics ecosystems capable of supporting AI-powered machines across industrial and service environments.
“Many believed globally relevant AI infrastructure companies could only emerge from Silicon Valley,” Reger noted. “We believe the next generation of AI leaders can emerge anywhere in the world where there is enough vision, engineering talent and execution speed. With this financing, Neura is firmly among the global leaders in the robotics race, alongside the best in the US and China. At the end, this is not only about robotics. It is about building technologies the world will depend on.”
