Robotics Meetup Bremen - every 1st Thursday of a month

Monthly robotics meetup tours ROS 2-based logistics company Cellumation, with university and DFKI visits planned for spring.

Deep Dive

Matthias Mayr of Mayr Robotics has established a recurring Robotics Meetup in Bremen, Germany, designed as a hub for local professionals to exchange knowledge and socialize. The group meets monthly, typically in central bars, but is now expanding to include technical site visits. The upcoming March 5, 2026, session will be hosted at Cellumation, a logistics sector company that develops and sells material conveying solutions built on the ROS 2 (Robot Operating System) framework. This shift from social venues to industry locations marks a strategic move to deepen the technical dialogue within the community.

The event at Cellumation will include an introduction to the company's work, a facility tour, and dedicated social time with drinks, blending education with networking. Looking ahead, the organizers plan to host the meetup at other significant local institutions during spring 2026, with the University of Bremen and the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) confirmed as expected next locations. This initiative strengthens the connective tissue between academic research, commercial application, and the open-source ROS developer community in Northern Germany. All event details and updates are managed through a dedicated website and LinkedIn, with email distribution for invitations.

Key Points
  • March 2026 meetup features a tour of Cellumation, a company building logistics solutions on ROS 2.
  • Future spring 2026 sessions are planned for the University of Bremen and DFKI (German Research Center for AI).
  • The recurring meetup, organized by Mayr Robotics, occurs every first Thursday, moving from bars to technical venues.
