Neura Robotics, a German company, is displaying commercial robots at this year’s edition of Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (Gitex), which is being held from October 17 to 21, in Dubai.
The robots are designed to unquestionably listen, perceive, and process your command 200 times faster than any human being.
Neura Robotics enhances the cognitive abilities of a robot that enables the artificial intelligence (AI)-powered machine to think like a human.
This is the first time such a mechanical contraption has been on show in Dubai, an innovation and technology hub.
David Reger, the chief executive officer (CEO) of Neura Robotics, put the game-changing concept in perspective.
“Our motto is ‘we serve humanity’. Hence, we have developed robots that will never hurt humans and that’s how it has been programmed. The 360-degree sensors attached to the robots help them know the difference between humans and objects. Usually, robots don’t have a system to know if it is interacting with a human or an object. This is the first time in the world such a distinction is being made,”
“The home assistant robot will be available in the market next February.”
“By early next year, you can get your AI-backed home assistant robot with cognitive abilities of a human-like feeling. It will have an AI-enabled mind that can communicate effortlessly. It is capable of carrying out all kinds of tasks such as tidying up a house, loading a dishwasher or a washing machine, mopping, dusting and cleaning surfaces. These are the unique attributes of this robot,”
He added that his company aimed to showcase robots as multi-purpose tools that have cognitive faculties. The home assistant robot promises to be agile, affordable and easy to be lugged around because it would not weigh more than 16 kilograms (kg).
Reger added,
“The robot has a platform that will move on rollers, a microlite robotic arm that can lift objects weighing around six kilograms (kg). It has an AI-powered voice recognition faculty, which relies on colour coding. This helps it to follow the orders and filter the loud surround sounds,”
The CEO cited that the similar technology could be used beyond homes such as workplaces, retail stores and healthcare centres.

This robot can be classified as a cobot, where they work closely with humans and help them complete a task much quicker. It has high precision and is capable of error-free outcomes.
Reger pointed out a cobot called Maira.
“These multi-sensing intelligent robots are being used in stores, where they assist in fetching things and serving customers who can order through their voice or even by pointing at something they want. Maira will interact with you like a human. It will ask you and confirm with you what you asked for. The robust and rigid design combines the performance of a high-end machine with easy programming and infinite possibilities for interaction – both for beginners and experts alike,”
