Free Navigation
Our autonomous mobile robots are equipped with sensors to discern their environment and to generate a map of the surrounding area. They are able to navigate freely in areas as small as laboratories or as big as industrial plants, can reach any designated position without human direction, and perfectly avoid collisions with obstacles or humans.

Availability and Reliability
Our robots are complex, battery-powered systems. We have integrated newest battery and charging technologies to maximize their availability. Our platforms provide the highest energy-to-volume ratio in the market of up to 18 Wh/dm³. We have also optimized the power consumption of our robot systems allowing them to operate up to 28 hours with one battery charge.
To minimize the downtime of our robots, we have built in highly reliable industrial components, often in redundant configurations. Moreover, our robots continuously monitor their internal system status to detect system faults even before they occur. |
Innovative Technologies
The design process of our robots is based on a bilateral approach combining state-of-the-art robot research with industrial standards on reliability, quality, and safeness.
New technologies are evaluated applying multi-dimensional criteria including costs, robustness, safeness, or adaptability. This approach results in robotic solutions that perfectly fulfill customer needs. It further allows us to identify weaknesses of current technologies and to align our development activities in the most customer-beneficial direction. |
Modularity
Our robots are designed to execute their tasks in the most effective way. This means that we can adapt our systems to the specific requirements of our customers, enabled by a strictly modular design of mechanical, electrical, and software components. Modules on all system levels provide interfaces to add further system components, which even increases the usability of our robots. Furthermore, our platforms are scalable in size and payload to be able to handle objects of all sizes.
