Work-Life Robotics Institute
The Work-Life Robotics Institute researches and develops economic and transferable robotics applications in the industrial environment. At the interface between humans and robotics, effective interactions in socio-technological systems are designed through application-oriented research.
The research focuses on lean-orientated industrial and collaborative robotics, additively manufactured components and care robotics. Further details and contact persons for the main research areas can be found on the Research page.
The Monitoring Committee of the EU Interreg Upper Rhine program has approved two cross-border projects in which the Work-Life Robotics Institute (WLRI) at Offenburg University of Applied Sciences is involved.
The Robot Hub Academie project will train future robotics experts in the Upper Rhine region, with a focus on cross-border courses, the establishment of a doctoral network and a robot driver's license. The WLRI plans to open up robotics lectures to students from France and Switzerland, as well as to develop courses for doctoral students and a doctoral network.
In the Robot Hub Transfer project, the WLRI supports small and medium-sized companies in the Upper Rhine region in the automation of processes with robots. The offer includes on-site as-is analyses, development of solution concepts and risk assessments.
