Leverage Robotics GmbH
Where we are?
We have our premises for our research and development work in the Gate – Garching Technology and Start-up Centre
Lichtenbergstr. 8
85748 Garching b. München.
Leverage Robotics is a spin-off of the German Aerospace Centre (DLR), which is dedicated to the task of making the production of the future more flexible and efficient through the use of lightweight robots with technology transfer from the Factory of the Future research topic. To this end, we are developing highly flexible and intelligent plug & produce robot cells for fast set-up times in multitasking applications. With our innovative robot tool technology, complex and diverse tasks in the areas of logistics, assembly, quality and, in particular, machine loading and start-of-line applications can be realised efficiently. Each of these tools has software modules, so-called robot capabilities, which enable intuitive robot programming even for non-experts. The simplified applicability of robots means that regional production can be realised and outsourcing of production with long delivery routes can be avoided.
