The Metzingen company that coined the term “cognitive robotics” — building machines that sense, think and work alongside people, from collaborative arms to a humanoid designed for series production.
NEURA Robotics was founded in 2019 by David Reger with a deliberately human-centered goal: technology in service of humanity. Reger coined the term “cognitive robotics” to describe machines that perceive and reason about the world rather than blindly repeating a path.
The company built that idea into products — MAiRA, billed as the world's first cognitive robot; MiPA, a versatile robotic assistant; and 4NE-1, a humanoid designed from the start for series production rather than one-off demos.
NEURA also launched the Neuraverse, an app-store-style ecosystem for robot skills, and raised a €120 million round to scale its cognitive and humanoid ambitions from Europe.
