> NEURA Robotics presents MAiRA as the world's first commercially available cognitive robot, which it says can perceive, learn and adapt like a human.

MAiRA takes voice commands. According to NEURA Robotics, a 360° microphone array picks up commands from every direction, even amid the noise of a workshop.

The robot detects people, and even their limbs, within a 3 metre radius, according to the manufacturer's page.

The manufacturer says MAiRA senses the weight of what it carries and adapts to it on its own, up to 18 kg, with no manual adjustment.

NEURA Robotics says it designs all of the robot's components in house, from servomotors and encoders to software and sensors.
