A German AMR maker most US readers haven’t heard of just had its strongest quarter ever. Innok Robotics is using Hannover Messe 2026 (Hall 26, G44(9), April 20–24) to roll out the full INDUROS family — 350s, 700, 700s, 1300 — plus a new browser-based fleet manager called Innok Cockpit. There’s also a “Physical AI” reveal they’re keeping under wraps until the booth.
The hardware
INDUROS is a multi-terrain mobile transport robot rated up to 1,300 kg towing, IP65, -10°C to +45°C, 16-hour battery on the 700. Differential steering, 10 cm ground clearance, runs indoor and outdoor with no site retrofits. Think tow tractor for factories that doesn’t care about weather or warehouse thresholds — and now it scales from a 350 kg-class unit up to a 1.3-tonne hauler under one stack.
The API hook
Innok Cockpit ships with a VDA-5050 interface — the same one Siemens SIMOVE Fleet Manager already validated INDUROS against. Any system speaking VDA-5050 can dispatch jobs, pull telemetry, and reroute the fleet over REST. Wire it into ERP, MES, or an LLM agent that turns “move pallet 4 to bay 7” into a mission. The Siemens integration is the proof point that the protocol works in real plants today.
Innok is also a grand finalist in the 17th Innovation World Cup, with pitch finals running during the show.
