NEURA Robotics Acquires ADLATUS Robotics to Bring Physical AI to Professional Cleaning

NEURA Robotics has acquired 100 percent of ADLATUS Robotics GmbH, an established provider of autonomous cleaning robotics based in Ulm, Germany. The acquisition brings hundreds of installed systems, proprietary navigation software, and deep industry expertise into the NEURA Group, marking another step in the company's strategy to build a Physical AI ecosystem across key application areas.
ADLATUS has developed autonomous cleaning and sweeping robots for industry, logistics, healthcare, and commercial spaces, with extensive real-world operational experience. NEURA plans to equip ADLATUS systems with additional sensor and AI capabilities, gradually connecting them to the Neuraverse—NEURA's open Physical AI infrastructure.
David Reger, founder and CEO of NEURA Robotics, stated:
"We're not buying ADLATUS just to add another cleaning robot to our portfolio. We want to give machines like this a new brain. Cleaning is a massive global labor market and, at the same time, a perfect example of what Physical AI can transform. When a robot doesn't just navigate its environment but understands what it sees, senses, and needs to do, an entirely new generation of machines emerges. That's exactly what we're building the Neuraverse for."
Over time, the cleaning robots will progress beyond predetermined routes to recognize different surfaces and types of dirt, interpret situations, select appropriate cleaning strategies, and learn from deployments. NEURA's goal is to establish the Neuraverse as an open platform where manufacturers of cleaning robots, mobile robots, and other autonomous systems can connect their machines to AI models and capabilities from the NEURA ecosystem.
Andreas Lindemann, Managing Director of NEURA Mobile Robots GmbH, added:
"Our ambition is to take mobile robotics beyond classic material transport. Autonomous cleaning is a logical next step in that direction. Looking ahead, we also plan to integrate these solutions into our Fleet Manager, opening up additional applications for existing and new customers alike. With ADLATUS, we're laying the groundwork to grow this business deliberately and, over the long term, establish it as its own product family within our AMR portfolio."
NEURA and ADLATUS have been collaborating under a strategic partnership since September 2025. The acquisition follows NEURA's recent addition of Bosch Rexroth's ACTIVE Shuttle to its portfolio, reinforcing the company's vision of combining Europe's industrial expertise with Physical AI to build a new generation of intelligent machines.
