A lighter and more flexible German industrial humanoid robot Germany’s NEURA Robotics has unveiled its 4NE1 Gen 4, featuring a slimmer design, a black textile outer layer and a 20% weight reduction over its predecessor. Based on the previous generation’s 80 kg weight, Gen 4 would weigh around 64 kg, though its exact weight remains unconfirmed. Its brain is Neuron AI, NEURA’s own Physical AI foundation model. It combines vision, touch, force, sound and language to help robots understand their surroundings and execute tasks. Through Neuraverse, learned skills can be shared across connected robots. NEURA is also building a 2,300-square-meter RoboGym with TUM to bridge the gap between training and deployment. Robots learn industrial skills through real-world data, human demonstrations and simulation... while NEURA advances real-world projects with partners such as Schaeffler,which plans to deploy thousands of its humanoids by 2035, and HD Hyundai Samho, where robots are being tested for shipbuilding.
