Agile Robots AG :: Highly Dexterous Collaborative Robots & Advanced Manipulation Systems

Agile Robots AG is a German robotics company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Munich. The company specializes in developing highly dexterous collaborative robots and advanced manipulation systems that bridge the gap between traditional industrial robots and human-level dexterity. Agile Robots focuses on creating safe, intuitive, and highly capable robotic platforms for research, industrial automation, and emerging applications in embodied AI. With a strong emphasis on precision force control, tactile sensing, and modular design, the company aims to enable robots to perform complex, delicate, and adaptive tasks in unstructured environments alongside humans. Agile has gained recognition for its engineering excellence and has supplied systems to leading research institutions, universities, and industrial partners across Europe and beyond.

The company’s core innovation lies in its torque-controlled, lightweight collaborative robots that offer exceptional sensitivity and compliance. These systems are designed with open interfaces, making them ideal for advanced AI research, reinforcement learning, and real-world industrial deployment.

Key Robot-Based Products:

• Agile Dexterous Robot (ADR): The flagship platform featuring high-resolution joint torque sensors, powerful yet lightweight arms, and advanced dexterity. It is optimized for complex manipulation tasks, including in-hand object reorientation, delicate assembly, and human-like interaction. The system supports rich sensory feedback and is widely used in research labs for embodied AI development.
• Agile Robot Series: A family of collaborative robots with varying payloads and reaches. These cobots combine safety features (power and force limiting) with high performance, making them suitable for industrial tasks such as assembly, quality inspection, machine tending, and laboratory automation. They support intuitive teaching methods and seamless integration with modern AI frameworks.
• Modular End-Effectors and Grippers: Customizable hands and tools designed for high-dexterity tasks, including tactile sensing and adaptive grasping.

Agile Robots provides comprehensive software tools, simulation environments, and developer resources to support rapid prototyping and deployment. The company’s platforms are known for their robustness, precision (±0.1 mm repeatability in many models), and ability to handle delicate objects with human-like finesse. Applications span automotive, electronics, pharmaceutical, research, and service robotics. Agile continues to push boundaries in Physical AI, focusing on scalable dexterity and real-world adaptability to meet the growing demand for intelligent automation.
