For the first time in its 15 years, ERF is coming to Germany. In spring 2025, the European robotics community will meet at its flagship event in the Liederhalle, located in the heart of Stuttgart. ERF is the most important European event for robotics and AI and this year’s theme is “Boosting the Synergies between Robotics and AI for a stronger Europe”. The aim is to bring together research and industry, present the current state of robotics and AI on a large stage and help shape future technological developments.
One event, many formats
ERF features a diverse range of event formats and is therefore unique in the European robotics community. Keynotes, lectures, and workshops make up a large part of the very diverse program. For example, attendees can select between more than 50 workshops with topics like application trends in industrial and service robotics, generative AI in robot programming and control, regulatory AI Act or humanoid robots. In addition, individuals and companies can apply for several euRobotics awards, which will be presented during ERF. These include the Tech Transfer Award for outstanding success in transferring research results into business applications, the Renaud Champion Entrepreneurship Award, which is given to the most promising robotic start-up idea, and the Georges Giralt PhD Award for the best doctoral thesis in the field of robotics in Europe.
An exhibition of robot and AI-based applications, presented in the style of a trade fair, complements the program. Networking and professional exchange also play a major role – which include two evening events and site visits to the regional robotic ecosystem.
Scientific Track and Public Engagement
The “Scientific Track”, i.e. the scientific part of the program organized by the University of Stuttgart and Fraunhofer IPA, is being held for the second time. Its premiere at 2024 ERF in Rimini was very successful. The Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO will contribute with program items on the topic of “Future of Work”. ERF will also provide a platform for major national and international initiatives such as the Robotics Institute Germany, RoX – Digital Ecosystem for AI-based Robotics, and the ROS Industrial Consortium for open-source software.
For the first time, free program items in the weeks leading up to and during the ERF are planned, which, in the spirit of “public engagement”, shall address interested parties from all areas of society, to inform and start an exchange about robotics and AI. As a cooperation partner, Cyber Valley, Europe’s center for excellence in AI and modern robotics, is contributing this part of the program to the event.

European Robotics Forum - First time in Germany You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
