GoKawiilNeura Robotics runs humanoid 'robogym' in Munich to train AI robots
German startup Neura Robotics operates a Munich facility where up to 100 humanoid robots from various companies practice physical tasks like stacking boxes, picking up parts, and gripping objects, guided remotely by human trainers. The New York Times was given first-ever media access to the site, which Neura uses to generate real-world training data that doesn't exist in the volumes available to language models. Neura, which raised up to $1.4 billion from investors including Nvidia and Amazon in June, already runs a similar gym in Hangzhou, China, and plans five such facilities globally by the end of next year.
