When Robotics Comes Close to Everyday Life in Bonn
On Tuesday, May 19, 2026, the University of Bonn will present the assistive robot NimbRo at the b-it Center on the Poppelsdorf campus. The lecture begins at 6:00 PM and focuses on a technology that rethinks care, household support, and intelligent mobility in everyday life. The format combines science, practice, and future questions into a compact event experience with a clear audience atmosphere.

Robotics with Real-World Relevance
NimbRo represents research from Bonn that has gained international recognition. The team from the University of Bonn won the RoboCup@Home World Championships in 2024 and defended their title again in 2026 at the RoboCup German Open. The focus is on assistive robots for everyday environments that understand language, navigate safely, and perform tasks in the household.

Science You Can Touch
The evening fits well with the strong Bonn research landscape around AI, robotics, and intelligent systems. The Institute of Computer Science describes NimbRo as part of its work on cognitive robotics and human-robot interaction; the b-it Center is regarded as a joint institution of several universities and research partners focusing on computer science, robotics, and life sciences. This very connection shapes the event experience on-site.
