The wiring harness is one of the most complex components in automobile production. The increasing demands from developments such as electromobility and autonomous driving require new approaches to production. To date, a large part of the production is still carried out manually, which is due to the increasing variety and complexity of variants.

Our robotics challenges aim to find new technologies and automated solutions that can overcome these challenges. We invite companies and research institutions to submit their ideas and technologies to advance automation in wiring harness assembly and production.

The best solutions will be presented at our annual Innovation Forum Leitungssatz presented and evaluated by industry experts. This platform offers the opportunity to present innovations to a broad audience and make them known in the industry.

An overview of past challenges can be found at Robotics Challenge 2024  and Robotics Challenge 2025For further information on the current challenge as well as on how to participate and register, please visit the Robotics Challenge 2026.
