NEURA Robotics has announced a record Series C financing of up to $1.4 billion, marking one of the largest funding rounds in the global robotics sector and signaling accelerating investor momentum behind Physical AI and cognitive robotics platforms.
The round brings together a broad coalition of strategic and financial investors spanning artificial intelligence, semiconductor technology, industrial manufacturing and infrastructure. Participants include Tether, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Amazon, NVIDIA, imec.xpand, Bosch, Schaeffler, the European Investment Bank, Lingotto Horizon, InterAlpen Partners and others.
NEURA Robotics, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Metzingen, Germany, is positioning itself as a developer of cognitive robots and a Physical AI ecosystem built around its proprietary Neuraverse platform. The company is advancing a model in which robots are not deployed as standalone machines but are connected through shared intelligence, enabling continuous learning and collaboration across environments.
The company said the fresh capital will be used to accelerate global deployment of cognitive robots and humanoids, expand the Neuraverse ecosystem, scale manufacturing capabilities and develop NEURA Gyms—large-scale training environments designed to improve real-world learning for robotic systems. Additional investment will support next-generation Physical AI systems that integrate sensing, edge computing and adaptive intelligence.
Chief Executive Officer and Founder David Reger said Physical AI represents a shift in computing that extends intelligence from digital interfaces into the physical world. He said robots will increasingly move beyond programmed automation to systems that can learn, interact and operate alongside humans in real environments.
NEURA reported an orderbook exceeding $1 billion, supported by partnerships with companies including Bosch, Schaeffler, Kawasaki, Delta Electronics, Qualcomm Technologies, Amazon and NVIDIA. The company is targeting applications across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, services and consumer environments.
Investors described NEURA’s platform approach as a defining shift in robotics architecture. Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, highlighted the importance of decentralized intelligence and machine-level autonomy, while Qualcomm Technologies emphasized the role of edge AI in enabling real-time decision-making in robotics systems. Amazon noted its cloud infrastructure and AI stack, including AWS Trainium and Amazon Bedrock, as key enablers of scalable Physical AI deployment.
European semiconductor ecosystem player imec.xpand and imec also underscored NEURA’s integration of sensors, chips and edge intelligence as central to its platform. Bosch and Schaeffler pointed to industrial robotics and humanoid systems as strategic growth areas where their engineering capabilities align with NEURA’s roadmap.
The European Investment Bank said the investment reflects a broader push to strengthen Europe’s technological sovereignty in advanced robotics and AI-driven industrial systems.
NEURA is also expanding its open Neuraverse ecosystem, designed to allow robots to exchange skills and learning data across deployments. The company believes this approach could accelerate the development of interoperable robotics standards and reduce fragmentation in the emerging Physical AI market.
Additional investors, including Lingotto Horizon and InterAlpen Partners, described NEURA as a category-defining company with global ambitions and a rapidly expanding industrial footprint.
