Prehensio leaves stealth as Fraunhofer IPA robotics spinout
Prehensio emerged from Fraunhofer IPA research as a robotics and AI company focused on adaptive grasping and industrial manipulation.
Evidence notes
- Fraunhofer IPA developed the underlying software for robots to grasp and handle unknown or changing objects.
- WHU alumnus Franz Dornbach joined the technical founding team as the business co-founder.
- The team received EXIST Transfer of Research support before Prehensio officially left stealth.
