- MIRMI will be presenting demonstrations focusing on geriatronics and the KI.Fabrik flagship project.
- At the munich_i Hightech Summit on 24 June 2025, leading robotics experts from universities and industry worldwide will discuss current topics in robotics and AI.
- On 27 June 2025, the prizes for the MIRMI Robothon competition will be presented. Eight international teams will compete.
Nearly 25 robotics and AI demos, panel discussions on the RIG STAGE, the Robothon robotics competition and, as a big highlight, the munich_i Hightech Summit, featuring keynote addresses from entrepreneurs and leading researchers: the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is showcasing the full diversity of its own robotics and AI research at automatica, which, thanks largely to the Robotics Institute Germany (RIG), coordinated by TUM, is now even more tightly integrated into a robust ecosystem extending beyond the Munich region.
For the first time, the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Robotics Institute Germany (RIG) are appearing side by side at Automatica. Under the high-tech platform munich_i, MIRMI, TUM's integrated institute for robotics and AI, provides a multifaceted insight into practical applications. The approximately 25 onsite demos include a mobile environmental laboratory equipped with a drone, submarine and small terrestrial robot, exosuits that support the upper body or legs, and startups such as SmartAIs, which uses AI to help blind people with orientation. Special thematic focuses here are on two crucial strategic topics of MIRMI: geriatronics and the question of how technology can support people in care and old age, and how KI.Fabrik deals with AI and robotics in the production environment. In addition, several start-ups are supported by the MIRMI incubator robo.innovate.
RIG STAGE: Stage program featuring many TUM researchers
The stage program will kick off on the first three days with short presentations of selected demos. The RIG STAGE, under the auspices of RIG, will focus on environment and mobility, health, work and young talent. MIRMI will be represented by many speakers and panel members, including MIRMI Director and RIG Coordinator Prof. Angela Schoellig and MIRMI Executive Director Prof. Lorenzo Masia. Ethics professor Alena Buyx and professor of science and technology studies Ruth Müller will discuss responsibility in automation, while robo.innovate manager Nicole Ebner and MIRMI board member Prof. Eckehard Steinbach will bring start-ups to the stage. In addition, researchers from RIG partner universities will present some of RIG's recently approved research clusters, among other topics.
Robotics and AI at the munich_i Hightech Summit: top researchers meet industry
The international congress ‘munich_i Hightech Summit’, scheduled for the opening day of Automatica on June 24, 2025, will focus on ‘Visions of future robotics and AI.’ In four different sessions, internationally renowned researchers will discuss "Autonomy and interaction in robotics," "Networking of cooperative robots," "Generative AI in robotics and big data" and "Future medical robotics". The event is remarkable for bringing together the worlds of research and industry. While the Alan Turing Institute conducts research on machine learning for future generations of robots, TU Dresden on AI and robotics in the operating theater, and the University of Pisa on human-robot integration, companies are already putting modern AI and robotics into practice. Honda, Google, Meta, and Continental, among others, will be on hand to provide insights.
Robothon at munich_i: 10,000 euros in prize money
An almost traditional highlight of Automatica is back for the fourth time this year, with the Robothon competition again pitting international research teams vying to demonstrate the superior agility and responsiveness of their robot platforms. The tasks will involve electronic waste disposal. After solving the standard task, the teams will show off the skills of their own devices in the Bring-Your-Own-Device Challenge. A jury of industry experts and top researchers will keep score for the eight competing teams from Germany, Ireland, India, and the United Arab Emirates. At the award ceremony on June 27, the winning teams share the total prize money of 10,000 euros.
automatica: ‘The entire spectrum of robotics and AI’
"At automatica, we showcase the entire spectrum of robotics and AI – from practical solutions in the demo area to a robotics competition, various presentations and panel discussions, and a high-profile international conference. It's a great mix," says Prof. Lorenzo Masia, Executive Director of MIRMI.
