Qualcomm, NEURA Robotics team up for smart humanoid robots

Qualcomm and German startup NEURA Robotics have teamed up to develop the next generation of intelligent robots that can work safely alongside humans. The collaboration focuses on humanoid and general-purpose robots for homes, factories, healthcare, and other real-world settings.

NEURA will integrate Qualcomm’s Dragonwing Robotics IQ10 processors, designed for advanced AI and real-time decision-making, into its robotic hardware. These chips act like the robot’s “brain,” allowing it to sense its surroundings, make decisions, and respond quickly without needing constant cloud support.

The companies are also working on a standard “Brain + Nervous System” architecture, which could become a reference for future robots. NEURA’s Neuraverse platform, a cloud-based simulation system, lets robots practice and learn new tasks virtually before applying them in the real world. This speeds up training and improves performance across multiple robots.

The partnership will also create a developer ecosystem to encourage third-party applications, making it easier for innovators to build tools for physical AI. By combining Qualcomm’s expertise in AI and connectivity with NEURA’s robotics experience, the collaboration aims to move advanced robots from labs into practical, everyday use.

Qualcomm and Tata Electronics to make automotive modules in India

Qualcomm Technologies, has partnered with Tata Electronics to manufacture Qualcomm Automotive Modules in India, a move aimed at boosting local production and supporting the country’s growing automotive electronics sector.

Tata Electronics will produce these modules at its upcoming semiconductor assembly and test facility in Jagiroad, Assam — India’s first indigenous Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test (OSAT) plant. The facility, with an estimated investment of around USD 3 billion, will focus on advanced packaging technologies including wire bonding, flip-chip, and integrated systems packaging, which are crucial for automotive, AI, IoT, and communication electronics.

Qualcomm Automotive Modules combine Snapdragon Digital Chassis chips with essential system components into production-ready units. These modules simplify design for automakers, enabling faster development of digital cockpits, infotainment, connectivity, and intelligent vehicle systems. They are also key to the shift toward software-defined vehicles, providing scalable, ready-to-use solutions.

This collaboration aligns with India’s Make in India initiative and global efforts to diversify semiconductor supply chains. By manufacturing locally, Qualcomm and Tata Electronics aim to serve both Indian and international automakers more efficiently while enhancing supply-chain resilience.

Executives from Qualcomm highlighted the growing global demand for automotive modules and the importance of regional manufacturing hubs. For Tata Electronics, the partnership marks a major milestone in its ambition to become a global center for advanced electronics manufacturing, leveraging its expertise in integrated systems packaging to deliver high-performance products.
