Robotics projects at the Hanover Messe

robot arm SARA (Safe Autonomous Robotic Assistant)
The torque-controlled SARA lightweight robotic arm can independently position the required components and devices in the workspace and select suitable tools. A special force sensor and control system enable the robot system to learn by doing, for example. Difficult and contact-intensive tasks are also carried out sensitively, quickly and precisely. The SARA (Safe Autonomous Robotic Assistant) robot arm forms a variable workstation with a modular design.
  • DLR is showcasing current research projects under the motto "Enabling transformation" at the Hannover Messe (Hall 13, Stand D62).
  • DLR's technologies, innovations and transfer projects are helping to meet the challenges of industrial transformation.
  • The Institute is also represented with exhibits at the Kuka Innovation Awards trade fair stands in Hall 5 at Stand D 12 and at the joint stand of the Berlin-Brandenburg capital region as part of the Lerosh project in Hall 2 / Stand B 16.

Under the motto "Enabling transformation", the institute will be presenting technologies, innovations and transfer projects at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) stand at Hannover Messe 2024 from 22 April 2024.

Visitors to the DLR stand can experience a variable robot workstation in action. The centrepiece is the SARA lightweight robotic arm. It can independently position components and devices in the workspace and select suitable tools. A special force sensor and control system enable the robot system to learn by doing, for example. Intelligent, digitally networked robots are therefore of crucial importance for the production of the future.

The start-up 3D-Input is also presenting a miniaturised technology for innovative human-machine interfaces. With its help, continuous, simultaneous and sensitive input of 3D movements is possible. Due to its small size, the sensor unit required for this can also be integrated into mobile phones and tablets. This makes it possible to produce three-dimensional input devices that control up to six degrees of freedom simultaneously and intuitively. The DLR stand can be found in Hall 13 at Stand D 62.

The Institute will also be exhibiting at the Kuka Innovation Award stand in Hall 5 / Stand D 12 and at the joint stand of the Berlin-Brandenburg capital region as part of the Lerosh project in Hall 2 / Stand B 16. All information on the exhibits and appearances can be found on the DLR special page for the Hannover Messe.

The DLR stand (Energy Solutions, Hall 13, Number D62) will be focussing on the following topics: Low-CO2 industrial processes and hydrogen technologies, robotics and automation for the factory of the future and quantum computing applications in industry. They contribute to the economically successful, future-proof and climate-friendly reorganisation of the industrial, energy and mobility sectors.

"More than ever, technological leadership and innovation are the basis for Germany's success and securing its future. At Hannover Messe 2024, we will be showcasing current projects, ideas and solutions to meet the technological challenges of industrial transformation. With its research in an increasingly complex environment, DLR is supporting the climate-friendly transformation of energy-intensive industries," explains DLR Executive Board Chairwoman Prof Dr Anke Kaysser-Pyzalla. "From start-ups to SMEs and global players – with its expertise in the core areas of aerospace, energy, transport and security and the resulting interdisciplinary research approach, DLR is a sought-after advisor and partner for politics and society, as well as industry and authorities."
