NEURA Robotics acquires Bosch Rexroth’s ACTIVE Shuttle to strengthen its Physical AI ecosystem

German robotics company NEURA Robotics will acquire the ACTIVE Shuttle driverless transport system from Bosch Rexroth starting October 1, 2026.

The ACTIVE Shuttle is already used by many industrial companies for automated material transport. It helps move materials to assembly stations and transport small load carriers in production and logistics.

NEURA Mobile Robots will acquire the ACTIVE Shuttle’s hardware and software and will also provide services to existing customers. The platform will then enter a new phase of development.

NEURA plans to gradually add the ACTIVE Shuttle to its Physical AI ecosystem. The company will improve the platform with AI features and connect it with other NEURA technologies. The goal is to make the autonomous transport system more intelligent and better connected.

In June, NEURA Robotics raised up to $1.4 billion in Series C funding to speed up the development of its Physical AI platform.

NEURA Mobile Robots focuses on autonomous intralogistics and driverless transport systems within the NEURA Group.

NEURA Robotics aims to connect different types of robots, including mobile robots, industrial robots and humanoid robots, through a shared Physical AI system. Instead of creating separate intelligence for each robot, the company is developing one common technology platform that helps robots understand their surroundings, move independently, learn new skills and work together with other machines.

According to David Reger, founder and CEO of NEURA Robotics, Europe possesses an incredible amount of robotics and industrial expertise.

“Our task now is to bring these technologies together and build something bigger.

Our aim is an open ecosystem where mobile robots, industrial robots, and humanoids can collaborate on a shared infrastructure. For me, this is precisely where the future of robotics lies.”
