Robot Technologies and Services

© Fraunhofer IPA

Interdisciplinary, systemic, and sustainable – this is how research at Fraunhofer IPA can be characterized. This also applies to the area of robot technologies and services. Everything we do aims to provide solutions for robotic, automated, and autonomous applications of all kinds and to optimize both value creation and the services you offer.

With this in mind, we develop key technologies in addition to innovative industrial robots, service robots, intelligent machines, and automation solutions. We shape future topics such as Industrie 4.0 or artificial intelligence. We keep a close eye on where the world is heading and develop technical impulses to improve it. Our scientists are breaking new ground, designing new methods, new technologies, new products, and new processes.

We develop robotics and automation solutions that bring industry and service providers a step forward. True to the institute’s claim: "Game Changer Technologies made by IPA".

A systematic start is offered by our Automation Potential Analysis (APA). Benefit from our experience and from the democratized access to robotic systems.
