Robotic systems

Aerial robots

The key research area Flying Robots covers several domains of the DLR Robotics and Mechatronics Center – Aeronautics, Space, Robotics, and Optical Information Systems – in order to exploit synergies in the development of robotics technologies for autonomous flying platforms. The spectrum of our work ranges from low-level control and sensor data processing to mission planning and execution.

Arms

Hands and grippers

Our experience in developing, building and using dexterous robot hands reaches back to 1993. Our work scope covers all areas from multisensory mechatronic hand design up to control of the hands including telemanipulation, autonomous grasping and manipulation.
