We can't imagine our life without robots any more, even if they are still not able to help us with the spring cleaning or take the dog for a walk. In many fields of economy, health service and research, robots perform difficult tasks which had to be accomplished by humans in former times. And due to their precision they increased the durability of the final product. Always in search of ways to refine the processes and the further increase the performances of robots, the Robotics Research Institute (IRF) deals with diverse fields of robotics and handling systems but also with the information technique which just makes the systems controllable.
