Neura Robotics is taking over Bosch Rexroth’s Active Shuttle autonomous transport system, expanding its autonomous logistics business. The transfer becomes effective October 1, and Neura Mobile Robots will assume responsibility for the system’s hardware, software, and service. The announcement came from Neura founder and CEO David Reger.
Active Shuttle is a factory automation platform that moves dollies carrying small load carriers and supplies assembly workstations. It uses safety laser scanners and 3D obstacle detection to navigate around people, and it supports scheduled or consumption-based material transport. Automated loading and unloading reduces manual material-handling tasks and requires no major infrastructure changes.
Reger said on LinkedIn that Europe has deep robotics and industrial know-how, and the opportunity now is to bring it together and build something bigger. The acquisition integrates Active Shuttle into Neura’s physical AI ecosystem, adding AI capabilities and interfaces that connect mobile robots with industrial robots and humanoids. Service, support, and continued development will remain in place for existing customers, the company said.
The deal is significant because it consolidates European industrial robotics expertise under a single company. Neura, known for humanoid and collaborative robots, is now strengthening its presence in factory automation. By offering a shared infrastructure, the company can handle both material flow and robotic manipulation.
Existing Active Shuttle customers will continue to receive service, support, and ongoing development, ensuring no disruption to deployed fleets. Neura plans to add AI-driven features over time, making the system more autonomous and adaptive. This approach aims to lower total cost of ownership while improving efficiency.
The acquisition reflects a broader industry shift toward physical AI, where robots share common software and data. It positions Neura to compete more directly with established intralogistics providers. It also signals growing convergence between mobile robots, industrial arms, and humanoids.
As the October 1 transfer approaches, Neura is expected to reveal integration roadmaps and future product plans. The German company will likely use Active Shuttle as a gateway to expanded enterprise deployments across Europe. This move underscores how robotics firms are consolidating to deliver end-to-end automation solutions.
