Neura Robotics opens 'RoboGym' near Munich as Europe tries to close the gap with China

Neura Robotics has opened a training centre on the edge of Munich Airport where as many as 100 humanoid and other robots work around the clock learning tasks by mimicking human trainers, as Europe tries to keep pace with China in applying artificial intelligence to machines. The German company, based in Metzingen, has drawn investment from Nvidia and Amazon and raised as much as $US1.4 billion ($1.99 billion) in June, with the investment led by the cryptocurrency company Tether.
