NEURA Robotics and TUM open RoboGym in Munich and launch 4NE1 Gen 4
SUMMARY
On 22 October 2026 NEURA Robotics and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) opened the TUM RoboGym powered by NEURA at LabCampus near Munich Airport. The centre covers more than 2,300 square meters and was built with TUM's Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI). To mark the opening, NEURA also launched 4NE1 Gen 4, the new generation of its humanoid robot.
Companies bring concrete tasks and process knowledge, and researchers study how robots can learn those tasks faster and perform them more reliably. NEURA says partners have been training workflows there since September, with companies from more than ten industries involved. Humanoids, mobile assistance robots such as MiPA and cognitive robot arms are available as form factors.
The RoboGym generates training data in three ways: real-world robot data captured by sensors, human demonstrations recorded with sensor-equipped data suits, motion capture and teleoperation, and simulation with a Data Amplifier that adds variations before skills are validated on real robots.
NEURA says 4NE1 Gen 4 is designed for serial production and is 20 percent lighter than the previous generation. It has a slimmer body with a textile outer skin, advanced hands and Smart Limbs, which build reflexes into each limb. It runs on Neuron AI, which NEURA describes as a Perception-Language-Action model that also takes touch, force, sound and the robot's own state as input alongside vision. NEURA says the robot is already in operation at the TUM RoboGym.
The TUM RoboGym is a joint initiative of NEURA Robotics and TUM that is initially set up for three years. In total, NEURA and TUM are investing around EUR 17 million in it, of which NEURA contributes approximately EUR 11 million. NEURA describes Munich as the start of an international network of NEURA Gyms, with further locations being established in Europe, the United States and China.

WHY IT MATTERS
EDITORIALThe TUM RoboGym gives researchers, students and companies access to a shared research and training infrastructure, and NEURA says its new humanoid is already in operation there. NEURA also says the Neuraverse connects this training infrastructure with its software and AI tools. Separately, it says skills learned by one robot become available to other connected robots through the Neuraverse.
