Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics

Mechatronics is the utmost integration of mechanics, electronics, and information technology up to “intelligent mechanisms” and robots which interact with their environment. Here, the “integral” design optimization and 3D simulation of such systems and components before they are built plays a decisive role. Accordingly, research carried out in the DLR Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics is based on the interdisciplinary (virtual) design, computer-aided optimisation and simulation, as well as implementation of complex mechatronic systems and man-machine interfaces. The institute is regarded as one of the worldwide leading institutions in the field of robotics.
