RoboAtlas Summary

The DFKI Robotics Innovation Center in Bremen conducts interdisciplinary research and development of intelligent mobile robot systems, closely cooperating with the University of Bremen Robotics Group.

Official positioning

Its long-term research goal is long-term autonomy: sustainable intelligent behaviour of technical systems in complex, dynamic environments over months and years.

Hardware scope

RIC develops research robot systems for maritime, space, terrestrial and healthcare applications. Its recorded AILA system is a mobile dual-arm manipulation research platform with 32 degrees of freedom, 7-DOF arms, a mobile base and multimodal sensing; DFKI states that AILA is no longer actively used.

Intelligence scope

The center combines mechanics and control, robot learning, human-centred interaction, hardware and software development to study autonomous, adaptive intelligent behaviour, including perception, mobility and manipulation in unstructured environments.
