en.Wedoany.com Reported - Cognitive robotics company Neura Robotics has announced the completion of its Series C funding round, totaling $1.4 billion, to accelerate the development of what it calls the "world's leading physical AI platform." According to industry experts, this funding round values the company between $8 billion and $15 billion.
Investors in this round span the fields of artificial intelligence, robotics, computing, manufacturing, and industrial infrastructure, including Tether, Qualcomm Technologies, Amazon, Nvidia, imec.xpand, Bosch, Schaeffler, the European Investment Bank, Lingotto Horizon, and InterAlpen Partners. Neura is building a new type of AI infrastructure where its cognitive robots continuously learn, collaborate, and operate in real-world environments through a shared intelligent ecosystem called Neuraverse.
David Reger, founder and CEO of Neura Robotics, stated that the future of AI will not only exist on screens; it will move, interact, learn, and work alongside humans in the real world. He believes that physical AI and cognitive robotics will become one of the biggest technological transformations in the coming decades, reshaping industries from manufacturing and logistics to healthcare, services, and home robotics. Reger also emphasized that many believe globally relevant AI infrastructure companies can only come from Silicon Valley, but the next generation of AI leaders can emerge anywhere in the world with sufficient vision, engineering talent, and execution speed. With this funding round, Neura firmly positions itself among the global leaders in the robotics race, standing alongside the best companies from the U.S. and China. Ultimately, this is not just about robotics, but about building the technology the world will rely on.
The funds will be used to accelerate the global deployment of cognitive robots and humanoid robots, expand the Neuraverse platform, launch Neura Gyms (real-world training environments for cognitive robots), scale manufacturing and deployment infrastructure, and develop next-generation physical AI systems.
The company's existing order book and strategic deployment pipeline exceed $1 billion. Its strategic partners include Bosch, Schaeffler, Kawasaki, Delta Electronics, Qualcomm Technologies, Amazon, and Nvidia, positioning the company at the intersection of robotics, industrial automation, and artificial intelligence.
To support AI's transition from digital systems to the physical world, Neura is building Neuraverse—an open physical AI ecosystem where robots can continuously exchange skills, capabilities, and real-world learning experiences across deployments. The company is also expanding its global network of Neura Gyms, large-scale training environments that combine real-world sensor interactions, simulation, and multimodal learning pipelines, aiming to create one of the world's largest real-world robot data infrastructures.
As part of its long-term strategy, Neura is also shaping decentralized AI architectures, edge intelligence, and machine-native economic systems with strategic infrastructure partners. The company believes that as AI systems enter factories, logistics centers, healthcare environments, and homes, a trusted, open, and interoperable robotics ecosystem will become increasingly important.
Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, stated that autonomous machines need the ability to process information, make decisions, and transact locally without relying on centralized intermediaries, and this investment reflects confidence in the future of autonomous robotics. Nakul Duggal, Senior Vice President and Group General Manager of Automotive, Industrial and Embedded IoT, and Robotics at Qualcomm Technologies, noted that robotics is one of the most demanding edge AI use cases, where systems must perceive, reason, and act on-device instantly and reliably. Qualcomm Technologies is helping accelerate the deployment of intelligent machines by combining edge AI capabilities, high-performance computing, and connectivity with Neura's Neuraverse platform. Nafea Bshara, Vice President and Distinguished Engineer at Amazon, said this investment is a natural extension of its strategic partnership with Neura Robotics, with Amazon providing the global cloud infrastructure and AI technology stack needed to scale physical AI, including Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, AI-specific chips (AWS Trainium), and its Neuron stack.
Cyril Vancura, Partner at imec.xpand, pointed out that Neura Robotics' platform combines physical AI with supporting semiconductor hardware such as sensors and edge computing, making the company a leading physical AI and robotics firm in Europe. Thomas Piliszczuk, Executive Vice President and Chief R&D Programs and Products Officer at imec, stated that Neura integrates AI, advanced sensing, and edge intelligence into a single platform, with the potential to redefine how machines interact with the physical world. Stefan Hartung, CEO of Robert Bosch, said that Bosch, with its sensor technology and expertise in software and converting electrical energy into motion, is at the core of humanoid robotics, a key technology. Klaus Rosenfeld, CEO of Schaeffler, noted that Schaeffler's eight product lines and decades of manufacturing excellence position it favorably in the humanoid robotics field, and the company will revolutionize the development and deployment of humanoid robots in future industries alongside a strong partner ecosystem. Nicola Beer, Vice President of the European Investment Bank, stated that through the TechEU project, Neura's open Neuraverse platform will help thousands of robots learn from each other in real time, strengthening Europe's technological autonomy and translating AI into tangible benefits for workers and businesses. Nikhil Srinivasan, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer at Lingotto Horizon, said Neura is not just a robotics company but the infrastructure backbone of the physical AI era. Stephen George, Founding Partner at InterAlpen Partners, believes Neura Robotics is a "hidden gem" in the global robotics sector, with a multi-billion euro order book from leading global customers.
