The German company Schaeffler and the innovative NEURA Robotics announced a strategic alliance to industrialize the development and production of the next generation of humanoid robots.
What is the plan?
Schaeffler, a global leader in motion technologies and mobility solutions, will bring its expertise in industrial scalability and precision component development. For its part, NEURA Robotics, known for its focus on physical AI and cognitive robotics, is looking to accelerate production of its 4NE1 humanoid robot, designed to work alongside humans in demanding production environments.
The robots produced will be implemented progressively in Schaeffler’s production plants globally, with a significant number being incorporated into the manufacturing lines by 2035, taking advantage of their flexibility and ability to adapt to diverse tasks.
Neuraverse: real data for industrial AI
The agreement also strengthens the development of Neuraverse, NEURA’s physical artificial intelligence-based ecosystem. By incorporating data generated in real factories, the platform will be able to train, improve and scale robotic cognitive capabilities with greater precision.
This will enable humanoid robots to continuously learn and adapt to new industrial scenarios, opening the way to a new generation of intelligent solutions.
Ambitious objectives and shared vision
NEURA Robotics has declared its intention to manufacture five million humanoid and cognitive robots by 2030, a challenge that now seems more feasible with Schaeffler as a technology partner.
With Schaeffler, one of Germany’s largest and most experienced industrial companies is demonstrating that you can’t wait for new technologies to emerge; you have to actively push them forward.
David Reger, founder of NEURA Robotics.
Schaeffler brings decades of product and industrialization expertise to the collaboration. By strategically combining our expertise, we not only strengthen our own competitiveness. As technological pioneers, we also set new standards for Germany as a business location.
Andreas Schick of the Schaeffler Executive Committee.
Germany is committed to global leadership
The agreement between Schaeffler and NEURA is not simply a business synergy, but a strategic move to position the country as the epicenter of advanced industrial robotization. Humanoid robotics, traditionally in the experimental phase, thus enters a new stage: that of actual large-scale implementation.
