NEURA Robotics 4NE-1 humanoid collapsed on stage during Qualcomm keynote at Computex 2026 in Taipei

A NEURA Robotics 4NE-1 humanoid robot collapsed backward on stage during Qualcomm's Computex 2026 keynote in Taipei, moments after handing a Dragonwing IQ10 demonstration board to a presenter. Qualcomm attributed the fall to a brief communication loss that triggered the robot's controlled shutdown and safe-fall protocol. No injuries were reported; stagehands cloaked and removed the robot.
