Schaeffler and Neura Robotics have formalized a strategic alliance with the purpose of developing and jointly supplying essential components for humanoid robots. This sales agreement is part of Schaeffler’s ambitious plan, which aims to integrate between four and six thousand humanoids into its global production network by the year 2035. Furthermore, the collaboration includes the integration of Neura’s technology into Schaeffler’s physical artificial intelligence ecosystem.
Neura Robotics, known for its innovative approach in the field of cognitive robots, will significantly benefit from this alliance, ensuring a proper supply of compact and lightweight actuators, essential for the continuous operation of their humanoids. This effort will not only optimize industrial capabilities but also provide real-time application data, crucial for training humanoid robots in various tasks.
Andreas Schick, COO of Schaeffler AG, has emphasized the importance of the humanoid robot sector for the company and praised the innovation represented by Neura Robotics in Europe. Their expertise in product development and industrialization will be a key pillar in this cooperation, aiming to strengthen competitiveness and set new standards in Germany, positioning the country as a business hub in this field.
On the other hand, David Reger, CEO and founder of Neura Robotics, has highlighted the need to actively promote the development of new technologies, arguing that the advancement in the German automotive sector was a result of a similar proactivity. The alliance not only aims to advance in the industrialization of humanoids but also to create a global ecosystem for physical artificial intelligence based on data from Europe.
A key aspect of this collaboration will be the collection and exchange of production data. This information will be crucial for developing advanced skills in industrial robotics, enabling humanoid robots to efficiently carry out specific tasks and continuously improve their abilities. Schaeffler will also contribute its expertise in the design of planetary gear actuators, essential for achieving precise movements in joints such as shoulders, elbows, and knees, allowing humanoid robots to operate efficiently even under significant loads.
