Collaboration launched at the research campus

Munich/Stuttgart - The international high-tech company Agile Robots SE is now a member of the ARENA2036 research campus. An initial meeting at the company's headquarters in Munich served as the foundation stone for the joint work on the research campus.

The robotics company, which now has over 2,300 employees worldwide, acquired a majority stake in ARENA member BÄR Automation in 2023. The new collaboration has enabled Agile Robots to focus more on its work at the ARENA2036 research campus. In its automation solutions, Agile Robots combines cutting-edge robot technologies with artificial intelligence, bringing exciting additions to the platform for existing ARENA2036 members. The company itself can benefit from flexible collaborations in the future and receive valuable feedback from potential customers or other companies and institutes in the field of robotics.

"We are delighted to now be part of the ARENA2036 innovation platform. In this special network, we are jointly driving the development of new technologies and thus actively shaping the future of the industry," explains Dr. Zhaopeng Chen, CEO and co-founder of Agile Robots.

Shortly after joining, Agile Robots takes part in the Robotics Challenge II of the transformation hub Wire Harness - a strong debut in Stuttgart and an excellent opportunity for initial networking. The team is also planning to initiate research activities together with other members, test its own technologies on site and integrate them into existing or new scientific projects. ARENA2036 offers the ideal platform and a strong, well-connected ecosystem for this, both in terms of technical expertise and the existing infrastructure and project landscape.

The kick-off meeting in Munich focused on getting to know each other personally, introducing the ARENA network and an open project brainstorming session. Potential project collaborations were collected and discussed in order to establish and deepen strategic alliances locally. This should make it particularly easy for new members to get started and enable them to work in initial project consortia with the lowest possible threshold.

We are delighted that our colleagues from Agile Robots approached us with so many ideas during onboarding and are participating directly in the robotics challenge that started last week. We are looking forward to the results of the challenge as well as networking with other members on site.

Welcome, Agile Robots!
