This is where the Robokind Foundation comes in!
In the coming years robotics will become a growing place in our society and economy. Although robots entered our industry decades ago, there has been a disruptive change in robot technology in recent years: a whole new generation of so-called sensitive, collaborative robots, equipped with a human-like “sense of touch” and therefore able to interact safely with humans, are conquering the international economy and science. Suddenly, laypeople and even children can work with real industrial robots. So what does our future look like with this groundbreaking technology?
“Robotics and artificial intelligence will fundamentally change our world like few technologies before. The Robokind – Robotics for Mankind Foundation wants to make a central contribution to giving everyone access to this key technology.”

The economy in particular will benefit from sensitive robotics. For this to happen, however, it is necessary for our companies to take up this challenge courageously.
Robotics offers the opportunity to keep production in our country or to move emigrated production back to Germany and Europe in order to operate profitably along the entire value chains. The use of smart robotic tools also relieves skilled workers of monotonous or even dangerous work. Knowledge of the capabilities and potential of state-of-the-art tactile robots is an essential key competence to fully exploit the great economic potential of this future technology and to continue to compete in international competition.
