One of 10 Women Shaping the Future of Robotics in 2025
Jul 15, 2025 — At Inbolt, we're making robots smarter and more flexible thanks to a real-time tracking technology based on 3D Vision and AI. We have deployed our solution across more than 150 robots right now in 50+ factories on three different continents, the United States, Europe and then Asia.
Jul 09, 2025 — IFR statistics show that Germany has consistently been a global top 5 robotics market for many years. They also provide distribution by industry. But what it does not show is who exactly is installing these robots and what distinguishes a robot user from a non-user. Data collected from nearly 16,000 plants by the Institute for Employment Research (IAB) of the Federal Employment Agency helps us to learn more about robot users in Germany.
