German robotics founder David Reger outlined a vision for advancing humanoid robotics, physical AI and industrial automation through a network of public "robot gyms," where companies and individuals can train robots, develop task-specific skills and monetize them through a shared platform. He said the company develops both robots and the underlying AI infrastructure, with current deployments focused on industrial applications such as machine operation, package handling and autonomous physical labor. Reger argued that Europe and Germany can lead the next wave of robotics innovation by leveraging their industrial expertise rather than competing in military robotics. He highlighted collaboration, real-world training data and a marketplace for robotic know-how as key advantages, positioning physical AI as a major driver of economic growth and a source of greater competitiveness, productivity and global influence for Europe.
