en.Wedoany.com Reported - Bosch Group announced that it will actively seize growth opportunities in the robotics industry, focusing on the supply of core components and system solutions, aiming to expand its business scope to billions of euros. Dr. Stefan Hartung, Chairman of the Board of Management of Bosch Group, stated at the Bosch Connected World conference in Berlin that core technologies such as precision sensors, software, and efficient electric drives are not only the foundation of autonomous driving but also key pillars supporting modern robotics. With the rapid rise of the humanoid robot industry, market demand for Bosch components and solutions is continuously growing.
Bosch clearly positions itself not as a manufacturer of complete humanoid robots, but as a technology supplier and partner, providing "smart brain" and "nervous system" technologies. Dr. Tanja Rueckert, member of the Board of Management and Chief Digital Officer, pointed out that Bosch's open ctrlX AUTOMATION platform makes robotics more modular, faster to integrate, and easier to apply, already helping customers combine autonomous transport systems with high-precision robotic arms. In terms of enabling precise manipulation capabilities for robots, micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors are key. Bosch is the global market leader in this field. According to the "2025 MEMS Industry Report" released by Yole Group, the market is forecast to exceed $19.2 billion by 2030, with an average annual growth rate of 4%. Dr. Hartung noted that the human body has 4 million tactile sensors; if an equivalent number of robots were manufactured, the global four-year total sensor output would only be enough to produce 12,500 units, illustrating the immense potential of the industry.
To accelerate technology deployment, Bosch adopts a model combining internal innovation with open ecosystem collaboration, establishing Robert Bosch Robotics GmbH and deepening strategic partnerships. Partners include Neura Robotics, as well as UK-based Humanoid robots and multiple startups in China and the United States. The Bosch China Robotics Center, established earlier this year, has coordinated cooperation with local partners to promote the commercialization of embodied intelligence technology. In terms of core components, Bosch Rexroth provides a complete product portfolio including high-precision motors, servo drives, and the ctrlX AUTOMATION platform, and can also support robot manufacturing with factory equipment such as conveyor systems.
Artificial intelligence is regarded as a core capability driving technological iteration. Bosch has integrated AI into its corporate strategy, deploying it in two main directions: cloud-based AI model deployment and application in its own production systems. Supporting the AI systems is the vast data resource accumulated from Bosch's more than 230 factories worldwide. Tanja Rueckert stated that the core competitiveness lies not only in hardware but also in the data accumulated from the global production network. Bosch also uses data capture suits to record complex motion trajectories for robot training, a technology already applied in the collaboration project with Neura Robotics.
According to the "Bosch Tech Compass" survey, covering over 11,000 respondents across 7 countries worldwide, the results show that most respondents believe artificial intelligence will become the most influential technology with the most positive development prospects in the future, with 70% of respondents considering this technology crucial for future development.
