Over 3,500 participants from the robotics and automation industry took the opportunity to exchange ideas and network online at automatica sprint – and to digitally immerse themselves in the world of AI and robotics at munich_i. 

automatica is an international trade fair for automation. The trade fair offers a platform for manufacturers and users of assembly and handling technology, industrial robotics and professional service robotics as well as industrial image processing. The industry-driven concept of Automatica is backed by Messe München GmbH and the VDMA Robotics + Automation as the conceptual and technical sponsors of the trade fair.

Due to the pandemic, an interim solution was sought in 2021 and thus Messe München was expanding its portfolio with a compact, new hybrid event format: the automatica sprint. With a clear focus on customer dialog and the first opportunity for the community to meet again in person, this innovative event is a contemporary response to the current situation. 

The Munich Insitute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI), founded by The Technical University of Munich (TUM) as an Integrative Research Center in the field of robotics and machine intelligence, to develop innovative and sustainable technologies and solutions for central challenges of our time.
