About the Event
Welcome to ERF2025, where German precision meets robotic innovation! For the first time in its history, the European Robotics Forum arrives in Stuttgart - and what a perfect choice of city! Where else might you find more robots per square metre than humans? (Well, perhaps not quite yet, but we’re certainly heading that way!) 🇩🇪
This year’s theme is “Boosting the Synergies Between Robotics and AI for a Stronger Europe” - because it seems robots and AI have realised they work better together! With over 1,000 participants and more than 60 sponsors and exhibitors, ERF2025 is set to be the largest robotics gathering since that time all the Roombas decided to have a party!
