Wandelbots Around the World

While much has been invested in hardware development, less has been done in software. Comprehensive innovations have been lacking in this area. A universal operating system could make a breakthrough, especially for medium-sized companies.

Why vast untapped potential for robotics still lies dormant in the industrial SME sector.

Right before the recent state parliament elections in Saxony, Germany, Wandelbots was interviewed by ARD film makers about the company's experiences in the current political landscape. The film questions the effects of societal segmentation in politics, economy, society, and culture.

The Dresden-based company is completely abandoning hardware development. A new business model aims to secure a leading role in global robotics. However, the challenges are significant.

Wandelbots parted ways with its hardware business a year ago, but the startup founded by Christian Piechnik remains committed to the democratization of robotics and is now focusing exclusively on software for simulating, programming, and operating robotic solutions.

A year ago, we announced a radical strategic shift: moving away from hardware (TracePen) and towards a software-only strategy. What has come of it? And what are the future plans? CEO Christian Piechnick shared the details in an interview with Armin Barnitzke from Automationspraxis.

Wandelbots CEO and co-founder Christian Piechnick doesn't want to build a mediocre startup. After nearly six years, the company underwent a course change, and one of Germany's most well-known robotics firms experienced a radical transformation. These are the lessons learned from the pivot.

Wandelbots was once hailed as a startup hope but stumbled despite the global robotics boom. Now, co-founder Christian Piechnick aims to pivot with a radically new business model and an AI partnership with OpenAI. It's a high-risk maneuver.

The Saxon state capital Dresden has a lot to offer – including in terms of the startup scene! The beautiful city on the Elbe is home to rising companies such as Wandelbots, anvajo, beeOLED, Morpheus Space, Altavo, and Sunfire.

The Dresden startup Wandelbots, for example, is working with its software solutions to simplify the interaction between humans and robots and make robot programming as accessible as possible

As is often the case, software is also the solution here for the challenges that the use of software can bring. The Dresden startup Wandelbots, for example, is working with its software solutions to simplify the interaction between humans and robots and make robot programming as accessible as possible.

Stephan Hotz, Chief Product Officer at Wandelbots, outlines his stance on open platforms for robotics and automation. Read up on this insightful interview between Stephan and Armin Barnitzke from Automationspraxis.

In recent months, Wandelbots had to make many changes to stay afloat. In this interview, Wandelbots provides insights into the pivot, the robotics industry, and the idea of developing a 'Windows for robots'.

In the "Robotics in Industry" podcast, Christian from Wandelbots discussed with Helmut Schmid and Robert Weber about Wandelbots' evolution and its commitment to democratizing robotics through software solutions. The focus was on bridging robot hardware with innovative software to enhance automation experiences, highlighting the significance of customer projects and development partnerships in this endeavor.

Dive into the world of robotics with Wandelbots' CEO, Christian Piechnick, and Tobias Herwig in this episode. Christian shares his journey from a doctoral student to redefining robotics through software innovation, programming, and democratization. Discover how they're tackling the complexities of robotics, paving the way for groundbreaking concepts like ChatGPT for robots.

Wandelbots shifts its focus from hardware to pioneering software solutions in automation. Revealed at the SPS expo, their innovative approach simplifies robot-human collaboration throughout an automation project's lifecycle.
