About

About MAiRA

MAiRA is a seven-axis cognitive robot arm with integrated torque sensing, cameras, microphones and environmental perception. Its sensing allows the robot to detect people, estimate three-dimensional workspaces and regulate contact during manipulation. The extra joint provides flexibility around fixtures and supports human-scale arm movement.

NEURA’s software combines motion control, vision, voice interaction and task teaching within the robot platform. Users can demonstrate actions, connect tools and configure collaborative workflows for assembly, handling, inspection and machine tending. MAiRA is commercially supplied as an arm and as part of NEURA’s wider mobile and humanoid systems.
