Multifunctional Robot Cell (MFC)

DLR is conducting research into the automation, scaling and optimisation of production processes for lightweight structures. In order to strengthen the technology transfer towards companies, research is being advanced to industrialisation maturity. Among other things, demonstrating full-scale capability for automated production is crucial for this.

With the Multifunctional Robot Cell (MFC), DLR has a very flexible infrastructure at its disposal that is unique worldwide. In the MFC, six cooperating or individually acting robots, which are used for different tasks and projects, work from the hall ceiling. In the 15 x 30 x 7 metre cell, which can be subdivided into up to four autonomous robot cells, the robots can move freely throughout the entire area, producing, assembling and testing even very large structures.
