Research

The Robotics Institute Germany brings together the most important research sites in Germany in a collaborative research concept. Through its research clusters, the RIG addresses the world’s most critical key topics in robotics and artificial intelligence.

By bringing together the brightest minds in robotics and AI, promoting cooperation, and defining joint research activities, the RIG creates a new type of ecosystem for research and innovation in robotics and AI. In this ecosystem, the leading national locations for robotics and AI work together, and synergies are identified and utilized.

The research objectives in Germany are outlined in a national research roadmap and made visible to politicians and decision-makers. The effectiveness and sustainability of all research activities are regularly reviewed.

The RIG focuses on research clusters that cover all central areas of development and innovation in AI-powered robotics, enabling the translation of innovations into practice through close dialogue with industry. Distributed national RIG centers serve as hubs for attracting top researchers in their respective fields of innovation. Teams and locations will work more closely together in the future.

This will create an ecosystem where internationally visible collaborative projects can be pursued, and joint publications will be produced.
