About ek robotics
ek robotics, now operating as NEURA Mobile Robots, develops automated guided vehicles, autonomous mobile robots and fleet systems for intralogistics. Its vehicles move bins, racks, pallets, production parts and heavy loads across automotive, pharmaceutical, food, beverage, logistics, healthcare, aviation and manufacturing facilities.
The X MOVE family spans compact 150-kilogram lifters through platforms rated to 2,000 kilograms, with SLAM, contour, reflector and barcode navigation options. VDA 5050 support enables coordination with other transport systems, while custom load-handling equipment adapts vehicles to each material flow. The company delivers simulation, controls, installation, commissioning and lifecycle service around complete fleets.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-03-24 - Demonstration - ek robotics demonstrates X MOVE and MAiRA mobile-manipulation workflow
The X MOVE 1200 transported small load carriers between transfer stations. A MAiRA M cobot used an AI camera to detect carriers and place or retrieve them from shelving. The combined system linked mobile transport with cognitive handling without a manual handover.
