Franka Robotics

Positioning

Franka Robotics GmbH is a Munich-based developer and manufacturer of force-sensitive, seven-axis collaborative robot arms, operating as part of Agile Robots SE after Agile Robots acquired the Franka Emika business through an insolvency sale in November 2023. Franka restarted Kaufbeuren production in March 2024, produced its 1,000th FR3 in February 2025, reported more than 1,500 FR3 systems shipped during 2025, expanded to approximately 5,500 m² of Munich robotics laboratories in February 2026, and demonstrated FR3 Duo systems with NVIDIA and Google DeepMind models. Its ecosystem reach includes NVIDIA, Google DeepMind, SICK, Vention, MIT, Stanford, ETH Zurich and Max Planck; the open question is entity-level revenue and the scale of sustained non-research industrial deployments.
