Embedded Systems & Robotics: The intelligence in your devices

Networking, automating and simplifying structures

Embedded systems and robotics applications are the invisible key players in industry. Seamlessly integrated into systems and technical products, they take over control, regulation and monitoring, automatically and in real time. The convergence of both technologies creates intelligent systems that can communicate, analyze and act independently. Our specialists combine the know-how of both worlds. They bridge the gap between classic software development and embedded software engineering, developing high-performance, scalable solutions and platforms for you.

From the idea to a robust system

Technology must not overtax even the most demanding requirements. That's why we rely on lean architectures and iterative development - with practical use cases and early testing. Our approach includes consulting, analysis, development, implementation and support during operation in order to solve our customers' challenges with individual/tailor-made software for their device.

In workshops and through prototyping, we sharpen the requirements and formulate a target image as the basis for technology selection. Based on this, a customized system architecture is created - with precisely the components that ideally support your business model. We realize the developed architecture, implement the software on the devices and establish connectivity to backend systems. We also support you in the further technical development or the development of monitoring, security updates or remote maintenance for your devices.

Research: AI-supported robotics for employees with physical limitations

With demographic change, employees with physical limitations need better support to remain productive. Assistance robots can help, but are not flexible enough. The KiRo4LeMi research project aims to use AI to dynamically adapt robots to individual changes in performance. Using digital models and "living personas", the AI optimizes robot operation in real time.
