Intro
NEURA Robotics is a German robotics innovator founded in 2019 by David Reger with a mission to revolutionize robotics by integrating cognitive capabilities into collaborative robots. The company develops advanced humanoid and mobile robots designed to safely and efficiently work alongside humans without requiring complex safety installations. NEURA Robotics focuses on expanding the skill set of robots to operate naturally in existing human environments, making workplaces safer, more attractive, and socially engaging.
With a diverse team of over 300 professionals from 30+ countries, NEURA Robotics develops all key components in-house, including AI, control software, sensor technology, mechanical design, and materials science. Their integrated approach has enabled rapid progress in human-robot collaboration and cognitive robotics.
NEURA Robotics has secured substantial funding, including €50 million in a second financing round and €120 million in Series B funding in early 2025, supporting expansion in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. The company also partners with industry leaders such as Kawasaki and NVIDIA, leveraging cutting-edge AI platforms to accelerate humanoid robot development.
