🍕 Our TUM Venture Labs Robotics / AI and robo.innovate Startup Lunch in April was a very special edition. For this event, we returned to where it all began: to the UnternehmerTUM MakerSpace GmbH at the Munich Urban Colab. Thank you very much for your hospitality and for giving us a closer look at your offerings and the value they provide for our robotics/AI teams. 🧰 In addition, our teams received an overview of upcoming internal events, such as SPICE#6, as well as external events like SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026 on April 27-29 and VivaTech 2026. 🌏 Two teams, InLoop Robotics (YC P26) and transload (YC P26), are part of the current Y Combinator P26 batch. Congratulations! 🥳 And of course, we had our pitching session.. 💻  Obvian, closing a gap in digital twin technology 🦿  Infinite Motion, aiming to build the world’s most energy-efficient walking platform - and, in my personal opinion, worth a call from Disney Research. It is an AT-ST walker! 🤩 🎥 FORMOVE, driving the development of a robust data pipeline for physical AI 📓 BIMA, which immerses children in reading adventures in the evenings 🔌 Duneo, which takes your HW/SW testing to the next level 💻  Kyrall, which redefines the state of the art in CAD It wouldn’t be a Startup Lunch if our teams didn’t exchange ideas with experts from all fields and enjoy a delicious slice of pizza. So we hope to see you next time! 🚀 Greta Garkisch, Andres Gonzalez-Eelman, Alexander (Sascha) Palatnik, Julian Ilg, Konstantin Ryan, Antonio Steiger, Osama Atwi, Johannes Walcher, Nabil Romero, Andrea G., Olivia Herzog, Nicole Ebner, Attila Victor Achenbach, Bakir Kreso, Philip Prestele, Peter So, MBA, Achim J.
