Neura Robotics acquires Bosch Rexroth's ACTIVE Shuttle to build a unified Physical AI ecosystem

Integration into the Physical AI ecosystem

The core strategic intent is to embed the ACTIVE Shuttle into Neura's Physical AI ecosystem. Neura plans to equip the platform with AI functionalities and standardized interfaces so it can intelligently communicate and coordinate with other robots — including Neura's own industrial arms and humanoid robots — through a shared AI infrastructure .

Broader vision: connecting mobile, industrial, and humanoid robots

Neura's long-term goal is to create an open ecosystem where mobile robots, industrial robots, and humanoid robots all collaborate on a single AI-driven platform, rather than operating as isolated silos .

Financial context — the $1.4B Series C

This acquisition follows Neura's up to $1.4 billion Series C funding round in June 2026, one of the largest ever in European robotics. That capital is earmarked for scaling its Physical AI platform and accelerating the development of cognitive and autonomous robot systems .

CEO David Reger's comments

In a LinkedIn post announcing the deal, CEO David Reger wrote:

"The ACTIVE Shuttle is a proven platform, already moving material every day in real production and logistics environments. It now enters our Physical AI ecosystem, and we will keep developing it… Today we take a step in that direction."

He also framed the acquisition as part of Neura's mission to build an open ecosystem where different robot types — mobile, industrial, and humanoid — work together on a shared infrastructure, leveraging Europe's deep robotics and industrial know-how .
