TORO at Automatica 2025 The humanoid walking robot TORO (Torque-controlled humanoid robot) is a research platform for scientific topics that deal with bipedal locomotion and dynamics. This includes aspects such as robust walking, stair climbing and multi-contact scenarios. TORO was presented to the public for the first time in 2013.

CORE at the Automatica. Hands and grippers. Our experience in the development, construction and use of versatile robotic hands dates back to 1993, covering all areas of mechatronic hand development and control including telemanipulation, autonomous gripping and manipulation. The DLR Hand II was the world's most advanced robotic hand when it was launched in 2001. Based on this, the two DLR Hit Hand variants I & II were developed. In 2008, we introduced the DLR Hand-Arm System David – it is still the most complex robotic hand with 36 motors and 20 degrees of freedom. It achieves the size and performance of a human hand and is therefore unique. The hand demonstrates our experience with cable-operated, passively compliant robotic hands. Our most recently developed space hand is the DEXHAND. It combines the modular finger concept of the DLR Hand II with cable-operated fingers. It has the dimensions of an astronaut's glove.

SARA at Automatica 2025: The variable workstation with the DLR lightweight robot SARA (Safe Autonomous Robotic Assistant) forms the central component for a work cell that can be flexibly reconfigured. This allows the system to be quickly adapted to new products and customised orders. In an interactive sanding application from the LEROSH project, the DLR team demonstrates how SARA can perform sanding tasks quickly and precisely with the help of 3D point clouds and an intuitive interface. Bearing rings are measured as a further application example. SARA is programmed using natural interaction with humans and language models.
