# NEURA Robotics, Wandercraft Among Winners of the Humanoid Robotics Industry Awards 2025

November 6, 2025 – The inaugural Humanoid Robotics Industry Awards 2025 has recognised several leading innovators and companies for outstanding contributions to humanoid robotics. Among the winners are NEURA Robotics (Germany) and Wandercraft (France).

“We’re deeply honored to receive this award! It’s a powerful sign that our belief truly matters: innovation must serve humanity. At NEURA Robotics, we’re showing that Europe can lead the next era of robotics through a purpose-driven vision.” – David Reger, Founder & CEO, NEURA Robotics

“The response to Calvin-40 in just five short months since launch has been overwhelming… We believe the future of physical AI will be shaped in the real world, not the lab,” – Matthieu Masselin, Co-Founder & CEO, Wandercraft

Award Categories & Winners

• Outstanding Company: NEURA Robotics – recognised for its pioneering work in cognitive humanoid robots and scalable “one-device” approach.

• Groundbreaking Technology: Wandercraft – awarded for its Calvin-40 humanoid robot, built for industrial settings with advanced sensing and safety systems.

• Other notable awards:

• Industry Leadership: Jérôme Monceaux of Enchanted Tools

• Outstanding Research Organisation: IHMC – Institute for Human & Machine Cognition

• Best Use of AI: Macco Robotics – for their humanoid bartender robot “KIME”

What This Means for the Humanoid Robotics Industry

• The awards highlight the transition of humanoid robotics from research prototypes to commercially viable systems working in industrial, service and collaborative settings.

• Companies such as NEURA Robotics are emphasising a “one-device” robotics model and global ecosystems (e.g., its Neuraverse platform) which signal increasing maturity in this space.

• Technologies like Wandercraft’s Calvin-40 demonstrate how robotics firms are integrating advanced sensor suites, safety systems and human-collaboration design to operate in real-world industrial environments.

• Recognition of “Best Use of AI” and “Groundbreaking Technology” categories underlines how AI, embodied intelligence, and real-world deployment are now key differentiators in humanoid robotics.

Looking Ahead

With these awards setting a benchmark, the industry can expect:

• Faster commercial deployments of humanoid systems in factories, logistics hubs and service environments.

• Increased investment and partnerships as firms and investors look to scale the next generation of cognitive robots.

• A growing ecosystem of hardware + software + AI, where platforms like Neuraverse and robots such as Calvin-40 become the foundation for future growth.

• Broader benchmarking and standards, as the industry moves from novel prototypes to regular operations — awards like this help crystallise expectations for performance, safety and impact.
