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

NEURA Robotics is taking over Bosch Rexroth’s ACTIVE Shuttle driverless transport system, with the deal set to become effective on October 1, 2026. The shuttle already has a track record in industrial settings, where it moves small load carriers, feeds assembly stations, and handles transport work in production and logistics.

The acquisition gives NEURA Mobile Robots the hardware, the software, and the customer service side of the ACTIVE Shuttle. That matters because the platform isn’t being parked as a standalone product. NEURA says it will be folded gradually into its Physical AI ecosystem and expanded with AI features and links to the rest of the NEURA Group’s technology.

That broader push is the real story here. NEURA wants different robot types — mobile platforms, industrial robots, and humanoids — to share one physical AI infrastructure instead of each machine type getting its own separate intelligence stack. The idea is a common layer that helps robots see their surroundings, move on their own, learn new tasks, and coordinate with other machines.

The company has money to chase that plan. In June, it raised up to $1.4 billion in Series C funding to speed up development of its physical AI platform. Within that setup, NEURA Mobile Robots becomes the home for autonomous intralogistics and driverless transport systems, while founder and CEO David Reger is framing the move as part of a bigger European industrial bet: keep the expertise, connect it, and build an open ecosystem around it.
