Humanoid robots are no longer science fiction: They can take on tasks that challenge humans and have the potential to play an important role in industry, services or private households in the future. At Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), researchers are working on hardware and software for human-like robots. Dr. Sebastian Reitelshöfer from the FAU Chair of Manufacturing Automation and Production Systems explains in an interview how humanoid robots could support us in the future and why this future technology on two legs could be an opportunity for northern Bavarian industry.
