Agile Robots

Agile Robots SE was founded in 2018 in Munich, Germany, by Dr. Zhaopeng Chen and Peter Meusel, both former researchers at the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The company builds force-controlled industrial robot arms and automation systems for manufacturing tasks that require precise, sensitive contact with parts.

Its Diana 7 arm is built for applications such as electronics assembly that need fine force feedback rather than pure position control, and the company has also introduced the Agile ONE humanoid platform for autonomous interaction tasks. Agile Robots operates manufacturing and engineering sites across Europe, the United States, and Asia, serving customers in the automotive, consumer electronics, and healthcare industries.
