The financing was also reported by The Wall Street Journal, which said Neura plans to use it to build a physical AI platform and pursue production of several million robots by 2030. That scale remains a company target, not a current production figure.
How the robot gyms are supposed to work
Founder David Reger calls the facilities “robot gyms.” Customers would rent training cells equipped with simulation and tracking systems, then have workers teach Neura robots specific jobs. The resulting data could be stored in “brain accounts” on Neura’s cloud platform, Neuraverse, and transferred to other machines in the same fleet. Reger eventually wants customers to sell or lease those learned skills.
Reger told Forbes that a gym at Munich Airport is already operating and that customers have booked some training cells for at least a year. Neura expects to have five gyms running by the end of 2026, with 10 more in development. Those plans include sites in Germany, China and the U.S., but the broader network and a marketplace for robot skills are still ambitions.
The existing business is less futuristic
Most of Neura’s current revenue still comes from conventional collaborative robots, including mechanical arms and mobile carts, Forbes reports. The company does not disclose revenue. Its latest available filing cited by Forbes showed a loss of nearly $7 million in 2022.
Neura says its order book exceeds $1.1 billion, about half of it tied to existing cobots. It also claims an $11 billion pipeline, but describes those agreements as carrying varying levels of commitment. That distinction matters: a pipeline is not the same as booked revenue or firm orders.
The company’s humanoids also remain early. Forbes reports that Neura showed a motionless prototype at a 2025 unveiling, while a newer model fell backward during a 2026 demonstration after what Qualcomm described as a communication glitch that triggered a safety sequence. Neura’s strategy rests on turning those prototypes, training facilities and shared software into a repeatable business.
