Schunk as one of eleven \u201cWomen in Robotics 2026\u201d world\u00adwide. Since 2024, the IFR has used this initia\u00adtive to honor indi\u00advid\u00aduals who are making a major contri\u00adbu\u00adtion to advancing robotics and strength\u00adening future-ready indus\u00adtries. \u201cFor me, robotics is not an end in itself. It is a tangible lever for making indus\u00adtrial work more produc\u00adtive, safer, and more future-ready,\u201d says Kristina I. Schunk. \u201cIt combines mechanics, soft\u00adware, and arti\u00adfi\u00adcial intel\u00adli\u00adgence \u2013 and trans\u00adlates human and digital intel\u00adli\u00adgence into phys\u00adical value creation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The award also under\u00adscores SCHUNK\u2019s role as a pioneer and driving force in a dynam\u00adi\u00adcally growing robotics market. There is a growing demand for flex\u00adible, AI-powered automa\u00adtion solu\u00adtions. Robotics is evolving away from rigidly programmed systems toward networked, adap\u00adtive plat\u00adforms. SCHUNK is driving this devel\u00adop\u00adment forward with a focus on indus\u00adtrial applic\u00ada\u00adbility \u2013 for example, through AI-based handling solu\u00adtions or the further devel\u00adop\u00adment of anthro\u00adpo\u00admor\u00adphic grip\u00adping hands for humanoid robotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is to make automa\u00adtion acces\u00adsible, reduce complexity, and enable stable processes. The focus is on indus\u00adtrial appli\u00adca\u00adtions: inno\u00adva\u00adtion must always be cost-effec\u00adtive and scal\u00adable. <span class=\"endpoint\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group mgznkr-elements mgznkr-box mgznkr-box-small\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Learn more: <\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/schunk.com\/de\/en\/news\/kristina-i-schunk-unter-den-ifr-women-in-robotics-2026-\/37440\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/schunk.com\/de\/en\/news\/kristina-i-schunk-unter-den-ifr-women-in-robotics-2026-\/37440\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kristina I.
