The MHI e.V. is a network of leading university professors from German-speaking countries who are successfully conducting research in assembly, handling and industrial robotics, both in a basic research-oriented and application-oriented manner. The society was founded in spring 2012. The MHI e.V. currently has 26 members, representing about 1,000 scientists through their institutes and chairs.

Through cooperation and continuous communication of the members, the aim is to optimize the teaching and research in the field of assembly, handling and industrial robotics. Furthermore, the association cooperates in partnership with other scientific societies, associations and federations.

KUKA was founded in 1898 by Johann Josef Keller and Jakob Knappich as an acetylene plant for lighting in Augsburg, Germany, where the headquarters are still located today. The telegram abbreviation from the first letters of the company name "Keller und Knappich Augsburg" became over time the brand name KUKA, which today stands for first-class automation and innovation competence worldwide. For 125 years, the company's mission has been to make life and work easier for people. Today, around 15,000 employees in more than 40 countries support the realization of this mission.

From industrial robots, software and robotic cells to fully automated systems and digital services: KUKA offers everything from a single source - especially in markets such as automotive, with a focus on e-mobility and battery, as well as in the markets, electronics, metal & plastic, consumer goods, e-commerce, retail and healthcare, but also in new business fields such as modular house construction. With easy to use automation, KUKA is also increasingly targeting small and medium-sized enterprises.

About NEURA Robotics 

NEURA Robotics was founded in 2019 by David Reger in Metzingen, southern Germany, with the goal of bridging important innovation gaps in robotics and establishing the age of cognitive robots. Like a smartphone manufacturer, NEURA Robotics combines all components and sensors as well as artificial intelligence in one device and offers partners a platform for the joint development of apps for a wide range of specialist areas. The resulting and steadily growing NEURAverse offers unmatched flexibility and cost efficiency in automation and attracts many international market leaders. For instance, Kawasaki, the third-largest robotics manufacturer worldwide by revenue, has recently unveiled a product range "powered by NEURA.“ All the new technological components required for this approach, including AI, are developed in-house by NEURA Robotics. This made it possible to set new standards in intelligence, precision, and safety. NEURA's cognitive robots can see, hear, and have a sense of touch; they act completely autonomously and learn from experience. Today, NEURA is right on track to bring the first multi-purpose humanoid robot to market.
