Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V. (DLR) Institut für Robotik und Mechatronik

The DLR Robotics and Mechatronics Center (RMC) cluster is the DLR competence center for research and development in the fields of robotics, mechatronics and optical systems. Accordingly, the technical basis of the RMC lies in interdisciplinary design, computer-aided optimization and simulation, the construction of complex mechatronic systems and human-machine interfaces as well as their control and intelligent programming.

DLR is the German Aerospace Research and Technology Center. In its core areas, DLR develops technologies for aeronautics and space, energy and transportation, as well as security and defence research. A broad spectrum of results and innovations bring benefits for industry and business, authorities and administration as well as for public stakeholders. DLR fulfills its responsibility to society through an intensive exchange of knowledge and targeted technology transfer.

Research and transfer

Climate, mobility and technology are changing globally. DLR uses the expertise of its 54 institutes and facilities to develop solutions to the resulting challenges. Our 11,000 employees have a common mission: we explore the Earth and space. We develop technologies for a sustainable future and contribute to strengthening Germany as a center of knowledge and business through technology transfer.

DLR Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics

The Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics develops robots that enable humans to interact with the environment more efficiently, effectively and safely. The robots are designed to work in environments that are inaccessible or dangerous for humans, but also to support and relieve people at work and in everyday life.
