MAiRA, a cobot with built-in 3D vision and voice recognition, followed in 2021, and concepts for a mobile robot, a household robot and a humanoid in 2022.
From 2025 the company expanded by acquisition as well as hiring. It took over the operations of B.A.H. Industrial Solutions, the mobile robot maker ek robotics and the development division of Huber Automotive, and its workforce passed 1,100 by late October 2025.
