GreenBotAI- Frugal and Adaptive AI for Flexible Industrial Robotics

A Franco-German collaboration to develop industrial robotics with sustainable AI solutions and strengthen supply chain resilience.

A Franco-German collaboration focuses on developing industrial robotics with sustainable AI solutions and strengthening supply chain resilience. The GreenBotAI project is one of five initiatives selected under the “Franco-German Innovation Projects on Artificial Intelligence Technologies for Risk Prevention, Crisis Management, and Resilience,” jointly supported by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and the French Ministère de l'Économie, des Finances et de la Souveraineté industrielle et numérique. The goal of these funded projects is to enhance crisis resilience using AI, develop sustainable solutions, detect potential epidemics early, and make industries more robust against supply chain disruptions. This collaboration is rooted in the Aachen Treaty (2019), which committed Germany and France to intensify their cooperation in artificial intelligence. In February 2021, the two countries issued a joint funding call for research and development projects, and the five winning initiatives are now being supported with a total funding of €17.9 million.

Final meeting at the German Embassy in Paris

By Martin Naumann on September 30, 2025

Closing presentation at the German Embassy Paris, 24 September 2025 German-French Lighthouse Project GreenBotAI: Trustworthy AI “Made in Europe” The Franco-German AI funding is part of a long-term strategy: since the Aachen Treaty in 2019, both countries have intensified their cooperation in this area. Specifically, the collaboration between the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action and the French Ministry of Economy and Digital Sovereignty is aimed at strengthening European competitiveness, advancing green and digital technologies, and securing technological leadership.

Fair: Automatica 2025

By Martin Naumann on June 30, 2025

Automatica 2025 in Munic - the leading exhibition for smart automation and robotics. Our Team provides information on the latest developments from the Greenbot project. Presentation of GreenBotAI GreenBotAI Demonstrator. This is how simple and efficient robotics can be: guided by 2D images, the robot picks up a component and, under torque control enabled by intelligent AI, inserts it into a second gear.

Fair: HANNOVER MESSE

By Martin Naumann on April 15, 2024

Live Demonstration of our latest results at the HANNOVER MESSE HANNOVER MESSE is the most important international platform and hot spot for industrial transformation - with excellent innovations or unusual products. At the Hannover Messe, the project partners demonstrate what they have achieved as yet. An individual image taken in 2D with industrial camera technology (“One-Shot Demonstration”) of the component and little computing power are sufficient for the robot to pick up, inspect, and position this component as desired.

New consortial Partner

By Martin Naumann on January 3, 2024

News from the project consortium The French startup inbot is now supporting the GreenBot-AI project, compensating for the loss of its partner Grai Matter Labs SAS. Inbolt Founded in 2019, Inbolt strives to democratize industrial robotics’ computer vision. Their innovation, GuideNOW, a real-time 3D vision and AI-driven robot guidance system, makes it possible for robots to dynamically locate workpieces and adjust their path, eliminating fixtures, indexing, and integration expenses. Elevate your efficiency by automating pick, tighten, test and glue tasks rapidly and flexibly!
