Agile Robots SE
DLR spin-off building a full-stack Physical AI platform centred on AgileCore software (sub-millisecond force control, adaptive grasping, AI-enabled human-safe collaboration). Product portfolio spans the Diana 7 (7-axis force-sensitive cobot, 7 kg / 923 mm reach), Yu 5 Industrial (6-axis cobot, 5 kg / 1000 mm reach, integrated NPU camera), Thor Series (3–20 kg payload, 600–1700 mm reach, 6-axis), Agile Hand (dexterous 5-finger end-effector), Agile ONE bimanual industrial humanoid (174 cm, ~69 kg, 20 kg payload, 2 m/s walk), and AMRs/AGVs for intralogistics (via idealworks acquisition). 20,000+ installed robotics solutions across automotive and consumer electronics. In November 2025 acquired thyssenkrupp Automation Engineering (now Krause Automation, ~650 staff), and in March 2026 formed a strategic research partnership with Google DeepMind to integrate Gemini Robotics foundation models into its industrial robot fleet.
