Robotics at Leibniz Universität Hannover

Cutting-edge research for the collaboration between man and machine

Robots support us in our everyday life, in teaching, industry, and medicine. They evoke visions of science fiction and inspire free association. Robotics research is characterized by close interaction between many different scientific sub-disciplines. At the Laboratory of Continuum Robotics of Leibniz Universität Hannover, e.g. research encompasses engineering, information technology, electrical engineering, and mechatronics. A superlative of Hanoverian continuum robotics: the world’s smallest robot, a mere millimeter in diameter! In addition, robotic assistant systems that provide not only physical but also cognitive support are firmly established in research at Hanover University.
