Overview
German cognitive-robotics company headquartered in Metzingen, founded 2019 by David Reger. Europe's most prominent humanoid contender; reported a very large funding round in early 2026 (widely cited ~€1B+, led by Tether, at a multi-billion-euro valuation). Develops the 4NE-1 cognitive humanoid plus a broader robot line; emphasizes onboard AI, full-body tactile 'artificial skin,' and a fleet-learning OS (Neuraverse). Partnerships reported with NVIDIA, Bosch, Kawasaki.

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.
