At Agile Robots we are bridging the gap between artificial intelligence and the real world. We are a spin-off of the German Aerospace Center and are developing the next generation of intelligent robots. To this end, we not only develop robotic hardware such as arms and hands but also the intelligent software behind it. Our ultimate goal is to make robots more intelligent, enabling humans to work even closer with their robotic assistants and to deploy robots in even more application scenarios. We are already engineering solutions for medical robotics, consumer electronics manufacturing, and other domains.
