    About URG

    Uniting Humans, Robots, and Artificial Intelligence

    The United Robotics Group (Holding) is a provider of AI-powered robotics solutions for the healthcare and service sectors. Founded in 2014 by Wassim Saedi, the company has operated as United Robotics Group Health & Food GmbH since 2021. In the summer of 2025, the company acquired the rights to the uLab, uLog, uServe, and uClean product lines and has since consolidated its business under the United Robotics Group (Holding) umbrella. The company is led by founder and CEO Wassim Saedi and Co-CEO & COO Kerstin Wagner.

    With a clear focus on the healthcare industry, the group pursues one goal: to establish robotics and AI as partners. With innovations such as the uLab Mobile laboratory robot and the uMe humanoid robot, which will be unveiled at CES in Las Vegas in 2026, the United Robotics Group is driving international scaling and actively shaping the future of healthcare.

    Wassim Saeidi

    Founder & CEO

    Wassim Saeidi is the founder and CEO. In 2011, he founded WS System GmbH, which became United Robotics Health & Food GmbH in 2021 – now operating as United Robotics Group (Holding). With entrepreneurial vision, the production engineer has developed the company from an idea into a leading provider of AI-powered robotics solutions in the healthcare and service sectors. Under his leadership, innovations such as the uLab Mobile laboratory robot, service robots like uLog, uServe, and uClean, as well as the uGO+ robotics platform, have been created. With the humanoid robot uMe, which will be unveiled at CES in Las Vegas in early 2026, he is setting the next milestone for the industry. Saeidi is also a sought-after speaker and expert on the interplay of robotics, artificial intelligence, and human interaction. In addition to his role as CEO, he is a board member of the VDMA Robotics + Automation Association and the BDI Committee for Industrial Healthcare.

    FAQ

    What challenges does the United Robotics Group address with its healthcare solutions?

    The healthcare sector is under enormous pressure: there is a shortage of skilled workers, costs are rising, and at the same time, the highest quality standards apply. This strain is felt not only by hospitals and laboratories, but above all by the people who give their best there every day. This is precisely where the United Robotics Group (Holding) comes in. Using robotics and AI, it creates support that simplifies daily routines, stabilizes processes, and expands the scope of action for employees. The solutions take over critical routine tasks, relieve the burden on skilled workers, and ensure patient safety. This allows hospitals, laboratories, and care facilities to remain operational even under the pressure of skilled worker shortages and cost constraints. The goal is to reliably guarantee medical care even under difficult conditions and to relieve the burden on skilled workers where the challenges are greatest.

    How exactly do robotic systems contribute to relieving the burden on skilled workers and improving patient safety?

    The systems take over standardized and time-consuming tasks, freeing up skilled workers to dedicate more time to patient care. This increases efficiency in daily work and improves patient safety by reducing human error. The uLab Mobile laboratory robot is already successfully deployed in more than 25 laboratories. In the healthcare sector, robots can, for example, accompany nursing teams on wards. They handle simple transport tasks and simultaneously support digital documentation. Voice assistance allows for direct information capture – a tangible benefit in the daily operations of hospitals and care facilities.

    What distinguishes the technology of the United Robotics Group (Holding) from classic robotics solutions?

    Unlike rigidly programmed robots, the United Robotics Group (Holding) relies on a learning principle: The robots learn workflows through interaction and adapt flexibly. This principle is complemented by intelligent functions such as workflow management, prioritization, camera and sensor technologies, and voice interaction. The company differentiates itself from the competition through its specialization in specific healthcare use cases, technological maturity, and the advanced integration of software and AI (workflow, prioritization, camera, sensors, object recognition, and speech). This combination enables rapid and seamless integration into existing processes. Crucially, these systems are not a vision of the future, but are already in use in hospitals and laboratories, delivering measurable added value to the daily work of many people.

    What role does collaboration with partners such as laboratory equipment manufacturers or clinics play?

    A key feature is the close cooperation with leading laboratory equipment manufacturers. These companies provide their equipment, allowing the robots of the United Robotics Group (Holding) to be precisely tailored to it. This ensures high compatibility and simplifies integration into existing laboratory environments. Furthermore, the United Robotics Group (Holding) is building partnerships with welfare organizations and other institutions to further expand the use of robots in healthcare and to open up additional application areas such as public spaces.

    What is the United Robotics Group's (Holding's) vision for the future of healthcare?

    The United Robotics Group (Holding) sees robotics not as a replacement, but as a partner in the daily work of healthcare professionals. The vision is a healthcare system where no one is left alone due to staff shortages. Robots take over routine tasks, allowing staff to focus on the truly human aspects of patient care. In this way, the United Robotics Group (Holding) contributes to ensuring that nursing and medicine continue to function reliably in the future, with less strain on staff and greater safety for patients. The goal is a healthcare system that remains resilient, efficient, and humane.

    What are the company's current focus next steps and developments, particularly with regard to the humanoid robot uMe?

    In addition to expanding its international locations (including China, Dubai, and the USA), the United Robotics Group (holding company) is working intensively on uMe, a humanoid robot intended to represent the next generation of intelligent robotics solutions. uMe will be presented at CES in early 2026, marking a significant step in the further development of the portfolio. At the same time, URG is accelerating its international expansion with its own subsidiaries and expanding collaborations with partners to explore further application areas, particularly in the healthcare sector.
