David Reger, CEO and founder of German robotics company Neura, says the velocity of physical AI development is extraordinary and positions Europe to capitalize on a new growth sector.
Reger described the current pace of physical AI advancement as "tremendous" during an appearance on Bloomberg Tech: Europe, signaling confidence in the emerging field's potential.
Physical AI—robotics systems powered by artificial intelligence—represents a significant opportunity for European tech companies to establish leadership in a rapidly expanding market. The sector combines hardware development with AI capabilities, enabling machines to perform complex tasks in the real world.
Neura Robotics has positioned itself at the forefront of this movement, developing AI-driven robotic systems. Reger's comments reflect broader industry momentum, with major tech companies and startups worldwide investing heavily in physical AI infrastructure.
Europe's robotics and manufacturing expertise could provide competitive advantages as the sector scales. The timing aligns with increased venture funding and corporate R&D spending in robotics and AI integration across industries from manufacturing to logistics.
