Broader research scope

This is a research record, not a curated recommendation.

The main field guide selects 14 companion robots for deeper review. This entry belongs to a separate 53-record index that also covers industrial, research, and developer systems.

Research summary

What the record says.

MiPA (Multipurpose Intelligent Personal Assistant) is a wheeled robot with a torso, arms and a friendly display face, built by German company NEURA Robotics for household and professional service tasks: fetching and carrying, serving drinks, loading dishwashers and supporting care settings. NEURA opened reservations at its June 2025 'market launch' during Automatica, alongside its 4NE1 humanoid and the Neuraverse skill ecosystem.

NEURA is one of Europe's best-funded robotics companies, announcing a Series C of up to $1.4 billion led by Tether in June 2026 at a reported valuation around $7 billion. Large-scale shipments across its humanoid line are expected to begin in late 2026; no MiPA customer deliveries had been confirmed as of July 2026.

MiPA's pitch differs from the US home humanoids: wheels instead of legs, a cognitive-appliance positioning, and integration with NEURA's industrial sensor and safety stack, including what the company calls artificial skin for safe contact around people.
