NEURA unveils 4NE1 Gen 4 humanoid, opens RoboGym - 23 Oct 2026. Munich, 22 October. German robotics unicorn NEURA Robotics has unveiled 4NE1 Gen 4, the new generation of its humanoid robot, and opened the TUM RoboGym - a 2,300-square-metre research and training centre for physical AI - together with the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The project is backed by a joint investment of about €17 million over three years. The announcement. 4NE1 Gen 4 - "For Anyone" - is designed for series production: 20 per cent lighter than its predecessor, slimmer, with a black textile outer skin and an advanced motion control system. It runs on Neuron AI, NEURA's own foundation model for physical AI, which the company says sees in 3D, senses contact and force, hears what it cannot see and remembers what it has done - all processed locally on the robot, without a cloud connection. The robot was already in operation at the TUM RoboGym for the opening at LabCampus near Munich Airport, and is also being presented at the NVIDIA GTC conference in Berlin this week. The gym was built in partnership with TUM's Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI). The money behind it. The RoboGym is a joint investment of about €17 million over three years, with NEURA contributing around €11 million, according to n24. Munich is the first site in a planned international network of NEURA Gyms, with further locations planned in Europe, the United States and China - a second German gym is already being built in Aachen with RWTH Aachen. What it means. The RoboGym tackles one of robotics' biggest bottlenecks: data. Unlike text-trained AI models, robots learn from physical interactions, which are rare. The centre combines three data sources - real-world robot data from sensors, human demonstrations via sensor suits and motion capture, and simulated training environments - so robots can learn tasks faster and perform them more reliably. Partner companies from several industries have been training robots at the site since September. "With the launch of the humanoid 4NE1 Gen 4, we are showing today which robots are ready for it: designed for series production, built for productive work and powered by Neuron AI... Developed, built and trained in Germany, for the world," said David Reger, Founder and CEO of NEURA Robotics. For Europe's robotics scene, the move cements Munich as a hub for physical AI. As the gym network grows - with partner companies already training robots at the Munich site - Europe's robotics engineers are the talent this momentum is built on: browse open roles in AI and robotics across Europe.

NEURA Robotics and TUM Open RoboGym in Munich. NEURA Robotics and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have opened a robotics research and training center near Munich Airport, bringing together academic researchers and industrial partners to develop and test robotic capabilities for applications in manufacturing, logistics, agriculture and healthcare. The TUM RoboGym powered by NEURA occupies more than 2,300 square meters at LabCampus and was established in cooperation with TUM's Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI). The partners are investing approximately €17 million in the initiative, including around €11 million from NEURA Robotics. The collaboration is initially planned for three years. The facility is designed to help companies translate existing industrial processes into tasks that robots can learn and perform. Participating businesses contribute operational knowledge and specific workflows, while researchers and development teams investigate methods for improving robotic learning and task execution. Training activities began in September, with companies from more than ten industries participating, including automotive manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, medical technology, packaging, logistics, agriculture and care services. Applications being tested include handling cardboard boxes, filling bottles and loading and unloading wooden components. Companies can use the facility to evaluate robotic systems, determine training requirements and assess potential applications before introducing the technology into their operations. The RoboGym combines three methods of collecting and generating training data. Physical robots perform tasks while sensors record movements, contact forces and outcomes. Human operators demonstrate workflows using motion-capture equipment, sensor-equipped suits and teleoperation systems. Simulation environments supplement these datasets by generating variations of physical tasks and operating conditions. The resulting data supports the development of Physical AI models capable of interpreting their surroundings and performing physical actions. NEURA's Neuraverse software platform connects the training infrastructure with the company's AI tools and enables robotic skills to be shared between connected systems. Alongside the facility's opening, NEURA introduced 4NE1 Gen 4, the latest version of its humanoid robot, which is being prepared for series production. The new model is 20% lighter than its predecessor and features a slimmer structure with a black textile outer covering incorporating sensors. It also includes redesigned hands intended to improve object manipulation and a motion-control architecture that allows individual limbs to respond independently to sensor inputs. The robot operates using Neuron AI, NEURA's Perception-Language-Action foundation model. The system processes information from vision, touch, force and sound sensors, together with data about the robot's internal state, to generate physical movements. According to NEURA, the model is trained using real-world robotic data, human demonstrations and simulated environments. The company intends to use its network of training facilities to develop robotic skills that can be transferred between compatible systems through the Neuraverse platform. The 4NE1 Gen 4 is already operating at NEURA training facilities, including the Munich RoboGym, and is also being presented at the NVIDIA GTC conference in Berlin. Companies participating in the training program will be able to test workflows using the new humanoid platform. The partnership between NEURA and TUM combines industrial robotics development with academic research. NEURA provides robotic systems, computing infrastructure, technical equipment and operational personnel, while TUM contributes research expertise, facilities and resources for scientific and operational activities. Researchers and students will have access to the infrastructure alongside industrial participants, allowing robotic learning methods to be evaluated using practical tasks contributed by companies. Prof. Lorenzo Masia, executive director of TUM MIRMI and head of the TUM RoboGym, said the collaboration would support the development of industrial robotics applications intended for commercial deployment. The Munich facility is also intended to serve as the first location in a broader international network of NEURA Gyms. Additional facilities are being established in Europe, the United States and China, while another German training center is under development in cooperation with RWTH Aachen University. The planned network will support the collection of robotic training data and the development of capabilities for different industrial applications, with participating companies contributing process knowledge and testing robotic systems under practical operating conditions.

NEURA Robotics and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have opened the TUM RoboGym, a robotics training centre at LabCampus near Munich Airport. NEURA also launched 4NE1 Gen 4, the new generation of its humanoid robot. The facility spans more than 2,300m² and was built with TUM's Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence. The partners are investing about €17 million over an initial three years, with NEURA contributing roughly €11 million. Companies from more than ten industries, including automotive, pharmaceuticals, and logistics, have trained workflows there since September. Robots learn from real-world data, human demonstrations, and simulation. The RoboGym is the start of an international network of NEURA Gyms, with sites planned in Europe, the US, and China. Another German site is being built with RWTH Aachen.
