What evasive robotics does

Evasive Robotics GmbH is a Dresden, Germany-based private company (GmbH, HRB 45899) that develops software and robotic systems for coordinating multiple robots in shared industrial workspaces. The company's core product is EvaLib, a proprietary real-time motion planning library that uses constraint-based programming to compute collision-free, time-optimized trajectories across multiple robots with any kinematic structure and any number of degrees of freedom. EvaLib runs on standard hardware without cloud dependency and integrates through OPC UA or custom interfaces, enabling vendor-independent deployment in logistics, palletizing, assembly, and bin-picking operations.

Beyond the software platform, Evasive co-developed the Gessbot Duo, a 20kg-payload dual-arm AGV with Gessmann, combining Gessmann's industrial-grade hardware with EvaLib's planning intelligence. The company markets application-specific solutions for palletizing, fixtureless assembly, and bin picking, and operates technology demonstrators (RoboSphere, MiniSphere, EvaHead, CetiBar) to showcase capabilities at industry events. The company maintains 11–50 employees and is led by five co-founders: CEO Stefan Zetzsch, CTO Frank Peters, Co-CTO David Kuß, COO Tom Sauer, and Co-Founder Randy Gelfert.

Evasive generates revenue via EvaLib software licensing and Gessbot Duo hardware sales/deployment contracts, sold through a direct enterprise sales motion targeting manufacturers. Distribution combines in-house enterprise sales with the Gessmann hardware partnership and event-driven demand generation at LogiMAT, Automatica, IEEE 6G Summit, and Automate Chicago. The company is funded through EU, Saxony, and BMFTR public co-funding programs rather than disclosed institutional venture rounds, and currently serves the DACH region with recent expansion signals into North America via a partnership with Neura Robotics.

Core offering

Evasive Robotics develops EvaLib, a real-time motion planning library that coordinates multiple industrial robots from different manufacturers in shared workspaces without physical or virtual fences. The company also delivers the Gessbot Duo dual-arm automated guided vehicle (co-developed with Gessmann) and turnkey multi-robot solutions for palletizing, assembly, and bin picking used by industrial manufacturers.

Product overview

evasive robotics offers EvaLib as its core real-time motion planning library for multi-robot coordination, which serves as the foundational software platform enabling collision-free trajectory optimization across various robot kinematics. The company provides the Gessbot Duo dual-arm AGV (developed with partner Gessmann) as a hardware product powered by EvaLib, along with technology demonstrators including RoboSphere, MiniSphere, EvaHead, and CetiBar. Application-specific solutions for Palletizing, Assembly, and Bin Picking are built on top of the EvaLib platform, delivering measurable benefits including 40% floor space savings, 20% faster ramp-up time, and 95% reduction in reconfiguration effort.
