Robots that inspire.
We build robots that inspire. For more than 15 years, we have been developing mobile service robots for different applications all over the world. Our strength lies in autonomous navigation. From narrow passages to dynamic environments – our robots know the way.
We at MetraLabs are specialists in mobile service robotics with long-term experience. In 2007, we launched the first interactive shopping robot in the world, which was granted the Thuringian Research Award. Since then we have deployed over 300 robots for various applications worldwide. Collectively, they have accumulated more than 100,000 km of driving experience.

Our vision
We strive for a future where mobile robots and humans share workspaces harmoniously and efficiently.
Our mission
We develop flexible, safe and user-friendly mobile service robots for business clients. Wherever there is a need for reducing the workload of staff, optimizing processes or inspiring people, our robots are deployed.
Technology made in Germany
We develop and build our robots by ourselves and on-site at our head office in Ilmenau (Thuringia). Our team consists of 20 qualified and experienced engineers and IT specialists. The key to the effectiveness of our robots is our in-house-developed navigation software. With its help, our robot are capable of orientating themselves in dynamic environments.
Proven quality
We guarantee the safety of staff members and customers who interact with our robots. The German technical inspection association TÜV Thüringen has tested the safety functions according to Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, Appendix IV, No. 21 and have certified an EU technical release certificate. It certifies that our robots will stop safely in case of any and all oncoming collisions.
