NEURA Robotics GmbH this week announced a new strategic technology and development partnership with Robert Bosch GmbH. The companies plan to support the industrial deployment of humanoid robotics and physical AI from Germany.

The partners said they are expanding the data foundation for humanoid robotics. NEURA and Bosch will jointly collect real-world work, movement, and environmental data in Bosch facilities using advanced sensor technologies. As part of the collaboration, the companies will co-develop AI-based core and functional software, as well as intuitive user interfaces.

The acquired real-world production data feeds directly into the Neuraverse, NEURA’s robotics ecosystem. It connects robots, the “world of things,” and physical AI to improve robotic capabilities through real industrial experience. Software updates and AI will enable continuous improvement across the entire fleet, asserted the company.

The combination of real-world data, Neuraverse, and Bosch’s expertise in manufacturing will create a feedback loop that supports ongoing innovation across the robotics ecosystem, the German companies claimed. The partnership is intended to promote practical use of humanoids in existing industrial processes, supporting people in daily operations by increasing productivity, flexibility, and safety.

Quadruped, 4NE1 Mini debut

Earlier this month, NEURA Robotics introduced its Quadruped robot and 4NE1 Mini robots at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. As with all of the company’s robots, these legged models are fully integrated with the Neuraverse.

NEURA said it engineered Quadruped for multimodal cognitive interaction and fully autonomous operation. The company said it can handle challenging terrain and complex environments.

The robot measures less than 1 m (3.2 ft.) in height and has a 21.9 kg (48.5 lb.) payload. It features multi-sensor fusion, intelligent mapping, and 360° environment vision. NEURA Quadruped is now available for reservation at a fee of €100 ($116.02 U.S.) and a full price of €50,000 ($58,004.64).

The 4NE1 Mini aims to offer cognitive intelligence in a versatile form factor. Its smaller size and easy handling make this robot well-suited for science and education compared to larger humanoid robots, NEURA said.

Standing at 52 in., it combines natural language interaction, computer vision, and reinforcement learning with multi-language voice recognition and human-detection safety features. 4NE1 Mini is also available for reservation at €100 and a full price of €19,999 $23,195.18) for the Standard model and €29,999 ($34,793.35) for the Pro version.

NEURA continues global expansion

In addition to the two new robots, NEURA has also been expanding its global footprint. Last month, the company opened a new location on Zollikerstrasse in Zurich. NEURA plans to use this 1,800-sq.-m (19,375-sq.-ft.) hub for research, development, and partner collaborations in the field of physical AI.

Metzingen, Germany-based NEURA said it is a pioneer in “cognitive robotics” that combines sensors and components for physical AI on each of its devices. The company said its machines can learn, adapt, and act autonomously in real-world environments.

Iván Hernández Dalas: 4 Show Floor Takeaways from CES 2019: Robots and Drones, Oh My!

Image
We’ve had some time to recuperate from the madness of CES, in which more than 150,000 attendees and thousands of exhibitors displayed their latest gadgets, gizmos and yes, even robots, on the CES show floor. Last week’s reporter’s notebook focused on the collection of startups around the Eureka Park area of CES, but several of the same trends were evident on the main South Hall 2 area of the Las Vegas Convention Center, where drones, robotics, AR/VR, and gaming took center stage. While most of our time was spent at CES hosting the Service Robots Arrive in Daily Life event, we did have some time during the week to visit the show floor and record observations. Here’s what we saw on the show floor, as well as some of our own individual meetings: 1. Underwater drones make a big splash On the main floor, there was no busier aerial drone booth than the DJI booth, but that is expected given the company’s dominance in the space. But once you got past that, you noticed a lot more drone co...

Iván Hernández Dalas: How automation and farm robots are transforming agriculture

Image
Source: EOS Data Analytics Agriculture is becoming the most high-tech industry today. All the top-notch technologies are finding a place in the way we produce, harvest, and distribute our crops. And in all cases, farm automation and robots are not an affordable luxury, but a necessary minimum due to tackling the rising global food demand. Agricultural robots can mitigate labor shortages by automating tasks like planting, harvesting, and weeding, while also supporting sustainable practices. Combined with satellite imagery tools for data-driven farming, these innovations can make precision agriculture more efficient, resilient, and environmentally responsible. According to the United Nations report , by 2050, the world will need 70% more food to feed nearly 9.7 billion people. Considering this demand, farm robots and remote sensing are the cornerstone of the proper work of the supply chain. Smart machines arise for the farm Farm robots are no longer experimental concepts — they ...
