The most promising European Robotics companies are listed here:
As mentioned already in a post before, we see Universal Robots as the leader in the promising field of collaborative robotics. In almost every research institute you visit, you will come across one of these species made in the land of Lego.
Headquarters: Odense, Denmark
Technology Focus: Collaborative Robots (market leader)
Mission: When we say the UR robot can automate virtually anything we mean virtually anything – from assembly to painting, from screw driving to labeling, from injection molding to welding and from packaging to polishing.
It is always worth to have a closer look when the BOSCH foundation starts something new.
Headquarters: Renningen, Germany
Technology Focus: Autonomous machines to improve conventional and organic weed management.
