No deployment evidence on file
A deployment is recorded when a public source names both the customer and the robot, or the maker confirms it. Nothing here counts against Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation.
In Research, Saildrone, HEBI Robotics and NASA have deployment evidence on file.
Add a deployment →Fraunhofer IPA in Stuttgart develops mobile service robots and assistive robotics platforms, including the Care-O-bot series. Its work targets human assistance and applied R&D use cases rather than end-user consumer products, with activities centered in Germany and the institute’s robotics and automation programs.
