What the partnership covers

NEURA Robotics and Robert Bosch Robotics GmbH announced a technology and development partnership on January 14, 2026. Their release says the collaboration is intended to advance industrial-scale work on humanoid robots and physical AI based in Germany.

Sensor-suit data collection

NEURA and Bosch say they will collect workplace, movement and environmental data at Bosch facilities with sensor suits. The partners call this physical training data scarce and valuable, and link it to faster deployment of humanoid robots.

NEURA founder and CEO David Reger described physical training data as robotics' biggest challenge. He said the Bosch partnership gives NEURA an opportunity to capture, structure and use real-world data.

Software and manufacturing roles

The partners also plan to develop AI-based core software, functional software and user interfaces together. Bosch is due to help NEURA optimize production workflows and scale software.

The release describes other Bosch roles as possibilities rather than commitments. Those options include supplying robot components, completing final assembly and producing motors for humanoid robots.

How the data fits the Neuraverse

NEURA describes the Neuraverse as a connected robotics ecosystem in which humanoids share skills, data and models. The company says software updates and AI allow robots across that network to improve over time.

The Robot Report says production data acquired through the sensor-suit program would enter the Neuraverse and be used to improve robot capabilities. It also reports that the partnership is intended to support humanoid use in existing industrial processes, with productivity, flexibility and safety named as goals.

NEURA's scale claim

NEURA says its order book exceeds €1 billion and that it is building production capacity that can scale. Both statements come from the company's partnership announcement.
