Weeks+Shipping: Integrator lead time. Sold through NEURA and European distributors on quotation, usually with integration.
Remote control: A laptop on the robot's network runs NeuraPy scripts in Python to command motions and read sensor data. Everyday setup happens on the teach pendant.
Overview
NEURA's flagship cobot, launched in 2021 and marketed as the first commercially available cognitive robot. It is a 7-axis arm with a built-in 3D camera, microphone array and touchless human detection, so it can recognize objects, take voice commands and slow down before contact. It sits above the simpler 6-axis LARA in NEURA's range Larger MAiRA XL versions with up to 35 kg payload were shown at Automatica 2023.
