NEURA Robotics is coming to Automate 2026 with a message that sounds a lot bigger than another robot demo: the company wants to show the whole stack.
The German physical AI company will exhibit at Automate 2026 in Chicago from June 22 to 25, bringing live demonstrations across its full industrial robot portfolio. That includes collaborative robots, autonomous mobile transport, humanoids, a quadruped and the company’s cloud-based Neuraverse platform.
For NEURA, the booth is really about its view of physical AI. The company argues that robots cannot be trained only in simulation and then expected to work perfectly in the real world. They need real-world data, validation and continuous improvement from actual deployments. That is where NEURA’s Neuraverse and NEURA Gyms come in.
The Neuraverse is NEURA’s open cloud platform that connects robots, developers and industrial partners. The idea is that every deployment contributes to a larger pool of physical intelligence, helping robots and applications improve as more machines are used in more places.
NEURA Gyms are the company’s real-world training facilities, where partners can train and validate robots for specific industrial tasks before pushing them into full deployment. Each Gym combines physical robot training with simulation, with resulting data feeding back into the Neuraverse. NEURA wants to make robot training less like a one-off custom project and more like a repeatable system.
The product lineup at Automate will include the 4NE1 flagship humanoid, the smaller 4NE1 Mini, the MAIRA cognitive robot for work such as bin picking and precision tasks, the LARA arm for palletizing and PCB handling, the MAV+ autonomous mobile transport robot and NEURA’s quadruped robot. The company will also show partner-developed applications, a Neuraverse digital twin and marketplace, and interactive exhibits around the NEURA Gym training environment.
That variety is the point. NEURA is not showing up with one humanoid and a dream. It is trying to position itself as a full-stack robotics company with arms, mobile robots, humanoids, training environments, developer tools and a data platform all tied together.
Founder and CEO David Reger is also scheduled to speak at the Humanoid Robot Forum on June 23, appearing on a panel about humanoid robots at scale and giving a keynote on the impact of physical AI in industrial worlds.
The Automate appearance follows NEURA’s Series C financing of up to $1.4 billion, which the company calls the largest ever raised by a full-stack robotics company. The round included backers across AI, robotics, compute, manufacturing and industrial infrastructure, and NEURA says the money will support global expansion, a push into the U.S. market and the worldwide rollout of NEURA Gyms.
NEURA also says its existing order book and strategic deployment pipeline already exceed $1 billion. That gives the company’s Automate pitch some commercial weight behind the big language around physical AI.
The larger robotics race is moving beyond single machines. The winners may be the companies that can connect hardware, AI, training data, simulation, cloud systems and real deployments into one working ecosystem.
