MetraLabs GmbH

Meet us in January at #NRF2026 at booth 5551, where our robot will be supporting Scandit's ShelfView solution!

Of course, the LogiMAT Trade Show will be a must on our trade show calendar next year! When the world of intralogistics gathers in Stuttgart, our booth will feature plenty of action and hands-on robotics. Stay tuned!

We will be attending the 10th event of the Operations Improvement Working Group in Leipzig! On December 2, specialists and executives will meet at Porsche in Leipzig. With the motto “Operational restructuring – stable and lean fast and first,” participants can expect an exciting mix of practical reports, discussions, and a factory tour. The focus will be on stable processes, good leadership, and strategies for improving business efficiency. At our booth, we will be presenting our CARY up transport robot as an example of simple and practical automation. We look forward to good discussions and new ideas from the field.

Wir investieren kontinuierlich in neue Technologien, um unsere autonomen mobilen Roboter noch leistungsfähiger, nachhaltiger und intelligenter zu machen. Wir freuen uns, dass die Thüringer Aufbaubank uns bei unseren Vorhaben, wie der Entwicklung und Umsetzung interaktiver KI-basierter Roboterapplikationen, unterstützt!

Huge thanks to Scandit! Our robot had an amazing time supporting Scandit’s ShelfView solution at Groceryshop in Las Vegas – can’t wait for the next events!

Say hello to CARY flex at University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule Bochum). Scientists from the Autonomous Systems research group and students will work with it in the field of mobile manipulation.

Next year, EuroShop will celebrate its 60th anniversary - and we will be there! At the end of February, the world of retail will gather in Düsseldorf. The industry's largest trade fair is expecting around 80,000 visitors for the upcoming event. During the five-day event, we will demonstrate how our robots can optimize retail processes and offer customers a completely new shopping experience. Stay tuned!

New software structures for versatile robot applications: flexible, fast, modular! With the help of our modular software platform, we flexibly develop new software structures and quickly adapt applications to different requirements. Our technology makes it possible to prepare complex systems for testing and deployment in a short time without having to reinvent the wheel. One example of this is the ROMOBIL (ROboterassistierte MOBILisierung, or robot-assisted mobilization) research project. Together with the Technical University of Ilmenau and Barmer Thüringen, solutions for robot-assisted gait and balance training are being developed. The goal is to create a system that supports patients in independent self-training. The project, coordinated by Prof. Horst-Michael Gross and Dr. Andrea Scheidig (Technische Universität Ilmenau), impressively demonstrates how quickly our platform can be adapted to new fields of application – even when a completely new software architecture is required. ROMOBIL is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space and the W!R Bündnis wecare.

Next week, we will be attending the EHI Techdays in Bonn! On November 4 and 5, retail experts and IT decision-makers will meet at the World Conference Center Bonn to discuss trends, innovations, and success stories in retail. We will be participating in the workshop “Future Intralogistics: Challenges and Perspectives for Smart Logistics,” organized by the Robotics4Retail initiative. We are looking forward to two exciting days full of inspiration and exchange!

At the beginning of October, the Thuringian AI Forum in Erfurt entered its seventh round. In addition to knowledge transfer in workshops and presentations, one of our interns was also in the spotlight at the annual event: Leander Heine was honored by the TZLR | Thüringer Zentrum für Lernende Systeme und Robotik for his bachelor's thesis on computer vision as the “Best Bachelor's Thesis in AI and Robotics in Thuringia 2024/25.” In the presence of Colette Boos-John (Thuringian Minister for Economic Affairs, Agriculture, and Rural Areas), Horst-Michael Gross presented the award to Leander. Congratulations!
