Neura-robotics

A new report from the Financial Times claims the stablecoin issuer is in discussions to lead a massive funding round that would value the German humanoid robotics company at as much as €10 billion.

Five months after partnering with Renault, Wandercraft has signed its second industrial customer, Italian auto supplier SAPA, to deploy its Calvin-40 humanoid in manufacturing.

Software giant SAP is partnering with a slate of robotics firms, including Humanoid and Neura Robotics, to give robots "business context awareness." New pilots at BITZER and Martur Fompak show robots taking orders directly from SAP''s warehouse management software.

German industrial giant Schaeffler will not only deploy thousands of Neura''s 4NE-1 humanoids by 2035 but will also co-develop and supply key actuators for the robots, feeding real-world data into Neura''s ''Neuraverse'' AI ecosystem.

A recent LA Times report highlights the massive, low-tech effort to gather real-world data for robots. This data bottleneck is the central challenge in robotics, and top companies are making wildly different bets on how to solve it—from human-video capture and teleoperation to massive simulation.
