Our research in the field of robotics

 wbk

Due to its flexibility, robotics is a key technology in many areas of application, such as production, logistics and healthcare. At wbk, we are working on enabling robotics to perform increasingly complex processes so that entire production systems can ultimately be mapped by industry-typical robot arms in the value stream kinematics project (GER).
