Robotics Startups in Europe 2/2

In the second and final part, more startups are presented. Part 1 covered the countries France, Italy and Great Britain (link).

Poland

Nomagic is the name of the Warsaw-based startup funded with almost $9 million that has equipped the French e-commerce market leader with an AI-supported pick-and-place solution. The robot used for this is from Universal Robots, albeit with a different colored cap. Very fast Cartesian robots are being developed by TMA-Automation. The company also sells its various solutions in Germany. Already featured in the blog was VersaBox, a specialist in mobile robotics

Netherlands

The Dutch industry is in no way inferior to the German industry. Against this background, it is not surprising that the country is home to Invert Robotics, one of the leading inspection robot manufacturers. ( Accerion, on the other hand, enables mobile robots to navigate buildings with the utmost precision. The company claims to be the world's first to do so without any other aids. Perhaps its past as a great maritime nation shows here. Another supplier of mobile robots is Avular. The startup develops platforms. However, it can be noted that probably no robotics startup has received really big funding in the Netherlands so far. The developer of Akulatoren, IMSystems, already stands out with a rather modest US$5 million. The model shown in the video manages 16 nanometers at a ratio of 25:1.

Switzerland

Switzerland has its own cobot manufacturer, F&P Robotics, which was recently reported. However, this is no longer a startup. Swiss robotics startups usually come from the environment of ETH Zurich or the University of Lausanne. They are initially funded by the state or via foundations in smaller volumes. The previous articles in the blog can be accessed here(link). The video shows the particularly fast Sidebot robot from Wyzo.

Austria

Perhaps the two best-known robotics startups from Austria are Airskin and Agilox. Airskin produces a protective skin that turns industrial robots into cobots or allows cobots to move at higher speeds. Agilox is considered one of the interesting logistics startups in the field of driverless transport systems. It enables pallet transport with a 360 degree maneuverability. "Half Austrians" have become the Stuttgart-based founders of drag&bot, which now belongs to Keba in Upper Austria. drag&bot is a specialist in sophisticated no code programming.
