Our offices are located in sheds 12 to 14, where we welcome guests and demonstrate robots and machines, e.g. in autonomous docking at a charging station. However, the real demos and test environment take place in Arenshorst, where our workshop is located and autonomous robots interact with real plants in the fenced-in AI Market Garden test environment.

We are a young, agile tech scaleup that places great value on sustainability. Fittingly, we work in wooden cubes and have a view of the greenery and the River Hase, which meanders around the building, as well as the train station and the trains that pass through. This makes the workplace the perfect sweet spot for developing new innovative ideas and turning them into products. And a few doors down, you can ponder solutions with doctoral students from the Joint Lab or meet up for a coffee with people from the local companies.

Arenshorst, Bohmte is 20 km to the north-east and one train stop away from our office in Osnabrück. We are located in the middle of nature on the grounds of a former golf course. In the 2000 square meter fenced-in robot test site, we can test our robots and our customers’ robots autonomously over long periods of time, for example in vegetable patches, and further advance technologies such as laser weeding and selective hoeing. The site is adjacent to an old manor house with its own moat. We have a workshop and offices right next to the test site, which allows us extremely fast integration cycles. In Osnabrück, we develop and test autonomy software in the simulation; in Arenshorst, we then transfer the software modules to the real machine and can then make changes to the code very quickly, build entire robots and assemble hardware and sensors.

At the CIC, the Coppenrath Innovation Center, a strong network of companies and researchers are working together on AI, robotics and AgTech and developing the agriculture of the future, working closely with the players in Agrotech Valley, the DFKI, Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences, the Joint Lab and the other companies and innovation departments in the CIC. Osnabrück and the surrounding area is at the heart of the AgTech scene, as leading agricultural machinery manufacturers such as Claas, Krone, Lemken, Grimme and Amazone develop their machines and new technologies here.

The CIC is a flagship project of the Aloys and Brigitte Coppenrath Foundation, which is located in the immediate vicinity of Osnabrück Central Station. Here, forward-looking architecture is combined with the exciting topic of artificial intelligence (AI). A total of 18 research institutions and companies have found their home in the Innovation Hub. Together, they are dedicated to researching and developing AI solutions, with a focus on the agricultural and healthcare sectors. The CIC offers space for exchange, collaboration and innovation and thus promotes dialog between science, the start-up scene, industry and trade.

The Lokviertel: One of Germany’s most exciting urban development projects is being built on around 30 soccer pitches in the middle of Osnabrück - within walking distance of the main railway station, where Europe’s main railroad lines intersect. The planning takes into account local climate and environmental conditions and focuses on sustainability as a central guiding principle - in ecology, architecture and social interaction. Together with the city of Osnabrück and the state of Lower Saxony, a sustainable district is being created here that combines innovative ideas with concrete social and ecological added value. Take a look at it as a virtual tour.
