Neura-robotics

At Automatica 2025, NEURA Robotics unveiled the third generation of its 4NE-1 humanoid, now designed for safe human collaboration, alongside the new MiPA cognitive service robot. The launch highlights the expanding Neuraverse, an AI-driven ecosystem aiming to democratize robotics through shared learning and an "app-store" for robot skills, signaling NEURA’s push for mass-market cognitive robotics.

NEURA Robotics is poised to reveal the third generation of its 4NE-1 humanoid robot at Automatica 2025 in Munich, Germany. The highly anticipated launch is expected to showcase significant advancements in actuation, dexterity, sensory capabilities (including "robot skin"), and AI, moving the 4NE-1 closer to a market-ready, general-purpose machine capable of versatile applications in both industrial and domestic environments. CEO David Reger has stated his ambition for this new iteration to be the "best humanoid robot on the planet."

Two major robotics events, the Humanoids Summit in London and the Embodied Intelligence Developer Conference in Shanghai, are taking place simultaneously on May 29-30, 2025. London focuses on mass production and investment with key industry leaders, while Shanghai highlights strong policy support, talent development, and practical applications, underscoring a global acceleration in the humanoid robotics field.
