● The company has celebrated its 20th anniversary event in its new 7,000 m2 facilities. ● An original choreography between a dancer and the RB-KAIROS+ robot was one of the surprises Robotnik had prepared for its guests. ● The Spanish company Robotnik has just celebrated 20 years dedicated to the design, manufacture and marketing of autonomous mobile robots and manipulators, becoming one of the leaders in its sector in Europe and the world.

The event took place in the new facilities of the company, a 7,000 m2 building located in the Technology Park of Valencia, where the company carries out 100% of its R&D, production and commercial activity. Those attending the celebration were able to enjoy a live choreography performed by the international dancer Sherezade Soriano with one of Robotnik's star robots: the RB-KAIROS+ mobile manipulator.

Robotnik robots are used in numerous industrial sectors and for various applications. An example of this was another RB-KAIROS+ robot manipulator, which was opening beers for the guests during the entire party.

Robotnik, 20 years
Roberto Guzmán and Rafael López, both engineers, founded the company in 2002, when it started its activity in the industrial robotics sector from a garage in the suburbs.

As Rafael López explains, "when we started out on this adventure, robotics sounded like science fiction. At that time, there weren't many people working in mobile robotics in Spain and our environment hardly understood what we were working on". "Twenty years later, we are very proud to see what Robotnik has become," says Roberto Guzmán.

These two decades are full of awards, prizes for innovation and a multitude of milestones: from the installation of the first mobile robots in the Hospital La Fe in Valencia, the signing of the first international distribution agreements, the development of the first commercial mobile manipulators or the recent deployment of pioneering projects in 5G or 3D SLAM industrial solutions.
All this has led to the fact that by 2022 Robotnik, a 100% Valencian company, will have sold more than 5,000 robots worldwide, will be present in more than 50 countries and will have participated in more than 60 European R&D projects. The company expects to achieve a turnover of more than 9 million euros this year.
