„Agile Robots demonstrates the symbiotic relationship between research and industry in terms of innovation.“   That’s how Prof. Anke Kaysser-Pyzalla, CEO of the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V. (DLR), described the partnership between Agile Robots and the DLR during the opening ceremony of our new Headquarters on Wednesday the 4th of June.   Like Minister-President of Bavaria, Dr. Markus Söder, MdL, who also participated in the ceremony, Prof. Kaysser-Pyzalla emphasized the importance of such cooperations in securing Germany’s long-term success as a global technology hub.   „As a spin-off of the German Aerospace Center, Agile Robots is part of an ecosystem that develops robotic technologies and brings them into real-world application. The company's success story highlights the significant potential of Germany as a center for innovation“ she explained further. “At DLR, we develop our solutions with the clear goal of creating tangible benefits. For us, research is intended to serve society - whether through public institutions or industry.”   Innovation thrives where collaboration flourishes. At Agile Robots, we strongly believe in this collaborative spirit - fostering partnerships, nurturing talent, and pushing the boundaries of robotics and AI.   #AgileRobots #research #collaboration #robotics #automation

✈️⚡ #𝐅𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐢𝐧 #𝐟𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 - 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 At last week’s EFCF - European Electrolyser and Fuel Cell Forum in Lucerne, the team from our institute at Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V., Dr. Christoph Gentner and Florian Becker together with Airbus colleagues Farid Quaium and Dr. - Ing. Leonard Liphardt, presented a novel idle management strategy for fuel cell-powered aircraft — tested on a 20-cell short stack under realistic lab conditions. 🧩Key challenge: Maintaining stable, low-power operation during descent, a phase with low current density  (0.1–0.4 A/cm²), reduced pressure (1000–750 mbar), and no humidification. 💡Key insights: 🔹 Dry, low-pressure operation risks stack degradation and local failures. 🔹Humidity and air stoichiometry critically impact stack stability and degradation. 🔹Adaptive control of temperature, pressure, and airflow can dynamically stabilize operation without extra hardware. 🔹This strategy also works as a drying protocol for cold starts. 💡Conclusion: Precise operational management enables stable, efficient, and long-lasting fuel cell systems even in challenging flight phases — paving the way for adaptive control in future #PEM fuel cell #aviation #applications. Thanks to everyone who engaged with us at EFCF! 🤝 #EFCF2025 #DLR #FuelCell #Aviation #Hydrogen #IdleMode #AdaptiveControl #SustainableAviation

Germany’s ZDF just featured Exolaunch on its flagship news program, Heute, highlighting how we’re making satellite launch and deployment faster, smarter, and more accessible. Our very own Nadine Smolka breaks down how our German engineering roots fuel a global mission: helping companies, big and small, launch to orbit with precision and ease. What began as a startup at Technische Universität Berlin has grown into a worldwide leader in satellite launch and deployment, becoming a launch partner for hundreds of missions across the space industry. Our services and separation systems have become the backbone of commercial space, ensuring satellites reach orbit reliably—while we handle the complexities of launch campaigns so our customers can focus on their missions. Space isn’t reserved for agencies or industry giants anymore. It’s for innovators, builders, and pioneers from all backgrounds. That’s why we’re proud to have exceptional women like Nadine leading the charge, proving that this industry isn’t just growing—it’s evolving.

Next-gen robotics talent competing for the trophy 🤖 In the beginning of the year, students from all over Europe applied to participate. This week, 6 finalists had the chance to present their projects during the finals to an expert jury at KI Palooza • Das KI-Event für den Mittelstand. The teams demonstrated their creativity and technical skills by showcasing practical applications in various industries, ranging from healthcare to construction.  Congratulations to ETH TUM Zurich, the winners of the NEURA Robotics Challenge! 🥳   Their project RAVI is a robotic assistant designed to support people with visual impairments. By providing guidance and assistance at home, RAVI aims to increase safety, independence, and overall quality of life. Through the Challenge and our role as the event's main sponsor, we are committed to supporting initiatives that nurture talent, foster knowledge exchange, and bring communities together. Not only do we want to shape the future of robotics and physical AI ourselves, we also want to empower those who support us on this journey with their ideas and knowledge. Congratulations again to all participants for their incredible work! 🙌🏻

⚖️ Advancing Fusion Regulation in Germany ⚛️   How do you set the rules for a technology poised to reshape the global energy landscape? At yesterday’s ReFus Project consortium meeting, funded by the Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt, participants glimpsed not just the future of fusion power, but the collaborative resolve required to bring it to life.   After six months of rigorous research and cross-sector dialogue, the ReFus Project revealed its inaugural blueprint for regulating fusion power plants in Germany. Developed with the participation of Philipp Sauter of MPIL, the proposal was presented to a broad coalition: scientists, legal scholars, industry leaders, and government officials.   The meeting spotlighted a two-pronged strategy: assessing whether current radiation protection laws can be adapted for fusion, and crafting a new regulatory framework attuned to the distinct challenges and promise of fusion technology. Key issues—safety, nonproliferation, and waste management—were front and center, underscoring how fusion diverges from traditional nuclear power.   Start-ups and industrial partners added vital perspectives, emphasizing the need for flexible, innovation-ready regulation. The session closed with a lively debate on the road ahead: how to harmonize scientific rigor, public safety, and the urgent drive for progress as Germany sets its sights on hosting the world’s first fusion power plant by 2040.   ❔ Which regulatory principles do you see as essential for the responsible rollout of fusion energy?
