MiPA
MiPA is NEURA Robotics' household companion robot, launched alongside the Neuraverse ecosystem. It brings NEURA's cognitive AI to a smaller, home-oriented form factor, sharing the Neuraverse platform with the 4NE-1 humanoid. Depth note: public product detail for MiPA is limited as of this pass relative to the 4NE-1. Shipping status, specifications, and pricing should be firmed at next pass against neura-robotics.com. Built with verified-vs-claimed framing; not padded.
Current platform
NEURA 4NE-1
NEURA Robotics' flagship cognitive humanoid, unveiled in successive generations through CES 2026 (Porsche-studio industrial design). Full-size (~180 cm), high lift capacity (company cites up to ~100 kg), 360° perception, force-torque sensing, and tactile 'artificial skin'; runs on NVIDIA Isaac GR00T. Pre-orders open; first industrial units targeted to ship late 2026. A smaller '4NE-1 Mini' variant is also offered. REVIEW NOTE: lift-capacity and DOF figures are company-stated; height/mass vary across sources (kept conservative here). Spec-disclosure note: specifications are manufacturer-stated and have shifted across generations (the earlier 4NE-1 was listed at roughly 170 cm, 60 kg, 15 kg payload, while the Gen 3.5 claims 180 cm, 80 kg, and a 100 kg maximum lift). Third-party trackers note these generational jumps have not been independently verified in public demonstrations. DEPLOY records these specifications as manufacturer-claimed pending independent verification.

Claims ledger
Public, dated claims by NEURA Robotics, each tracked against the evidence. Status is a DEPLOY assessment from primary sources: verified means an independent source confirms it; contradicted means one refutes it; open means the outcome is not yet determinable. Every entry keeps its verbatim quote and source so you can check the call yourself.
- VerifiedCapability · claimed 2026-02-11
“The future of AI will not only live on screens”
This is a philosophical statement, not a measurable claim. NEURA's positioning as an embodied AI company is verified by its partnerships with Bosch and AWS. The statement itself is trivially true — robotics is a physical manifestation of AI.

“Humanoid robots by end of next year”
NEURA Robotics has partnerships with Bosch and AWS but no confirmed commercial humanoid deployment as of July 2026. David Reger's "end of next year" is vague — if said in late 2025/early 2026, the implied deadline is end of 2027. No evidence of deployed humanoid robots performing autonomous work tasks. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaEVxDeFZv7/
- OpenTimeline · claimed 2026-01-01
“Hopefully funded + deployed robots by end of program”
The hedging language ("hopefully") is notably less confident than peers like Figure or Tesla. "End of program" is undefined. NEURA has technology partnerships but no confirmed commercial deployment of its 4NE-1 humanoid.

Explainers
Plain-language answers to the questions people ask about NEURA Robotics, from DEPLOY’s explainer library. Each is written in the language of the question and cross-checked against this registry.
- Who are the leading humanoid robot makers?
By active commercial deployment activity in 2026, the leading humanoid robot makers are Tesla (Optimus, factory pilots), Figure AI (02, BMW pilot), Agility Robotics (Digit, warehouse operators), Apptronik (Apollo, Mercedes-Benz pilot), 1X Technologies (Neo, consumer pre-launch), Boston Dynamics (Atlas, R&D), and Unitree Robotics (G1/H-series, research). A fast-growing Chinese cohort (UBTech, Xiaomi, XPeng, Fourier, EngineAI, and others) is shipping platforms at increasingly competitive price points.
- What is PAL Robotics and the TALOS humanoid?
PAL Robotics is a Spanish humanoid robotics company headquartered in Barcelona, founded in 2004 with extensive European research-consortium history. The TALOS is the company's full-size adult bipedal humanoid platform, positioned for research-institution deployment rather than consumer or scaled-enterprise commercial use. PAL extends DEPLOY's humanoid manufacturer cohort to European context, representing a distinct geographic-and-strategic position from the American, Chinese, and Canadian cohort members.
