NEURA Robotics is seeking up to $1.4 billion in a Series C funding round aimed at scaling what the company calls "physical AI" — the fusion of artificial intelligence with robots that operate in the real world.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the round is backed by tech heavyweights Nvidia and Amazon, a pairing that signals how seriously the industry's biggest players are treating humanoid robotics as the next major frontier.
The Robot Report notes that NEURA plans to use the capital to expand its platforms for robot learning and to ramp up global production of humanoids and other robotic systems.
The investment comes amid a broader race among startups and established players to build robots capable of working alongside humans in warehouses, factories, and homes. Nvidia has been increasingly central to this push, supplying the computing muscle that powers AI training for physical systems. Amazon, with its vast logistics network, has an obvious stake in robots that can handle physical tasks at scale.
A $1.4 billion Series C would rank among the largest single fundraises in robotics history, reflecting both soaring investor appetite and the enormous capital required to move from prototype to mass production.
If NEURA delivers, it could accelerate the timeline for humanoid robots moving from research labs into the real economy — which is why this funding round is worth watching closely.
