Fabmatics validates HERO Scout in Infineon Dresden cleanroom trial
Fabmatics and Infineon evaluated a HERO Scout prototype under real production conditions in Infineon Dresden’s 200 mm lithography fab through the AIMS 5.0 programme.

Evidence notes
- The trial used dummy reticle SMIF pods and 200 mm wafer carriers across transport, handling and narrow-aisle navigation scenarios.
- A vision-guided gripper handled load-port position deviations without reteaching, while obstacle and personnel-interaction tests confirmed safe operation.
- The prototype combined a six-axis collaborative arm with SLAM-based route learning, AI-enabled local control and inductive on-the-fly charging.
