We offer a great vision and exciting challenges

We are a well-coordinated, interdisciplinary team of around 14 experienced colleagues who have successfully mastered one of the most complex challenges of our time: the development of a robot figure that looks like a living being, whose sympathetic presence touches people emotionally – and which is already having a successful impact in social work today. Our product is never finished: It is constantly being developed, regularly receives new functions and continues to grow in close cooperation with partners in the field. In this way, we are creating a product that provides relief and enhances the quality of social work – today in the care sector, tomorrow in many other areas of social work.

With over 60 robots sold and a broad response in media such as ARD, ZDF, ZEIT and Süddeutsche Zeitung, we are bringing social robotics into everyday reality. Studies prove the positive effect and evidence of our solution. This is reflected not only in public interest, but also in the growing sales funnel.

And that’s exactly why we’re looking for you!

As sales grow, so do the demands on our robot’s autonomous mobility – precise, safe, and smooth driving becomes crucial. In (small) series production, these functions must be robust and repeatable. That’s why we’re looking for you to further develop the driving and motion control of our Navel and perfect it for series production.
