United Robotics Group in a new structure: Kerstin Wagner is Co-CEO and the humanoid robot uMe will be presented in early 2026.
Stuhr, January 6, 2026 The United Robotics Group (URG) has restructured: United Robotics Health & Food GmbH has acquired the patent, trademark, and content rights for all product lines (uLab, uLog, uServe, uClean) and now operates under the name United Robotics Group (Holding). Existing operations will continue seamlessly under the new United Robotics Group (Holding). At the same time, Kerstin Wagner joins the company's management team as the new Co-CEO & COO, working alongside founder and CEO Wassim Saeidi. The internationally successful healthtech and diagnostics expert (formerly with Siemens Healthineers) joined the United Robotics Group in January 2025 as VP Global Partnerships and Strategy. With her on board, the United Robotics Group is now focusing its efforts on the healthcare sector – with the goal of globally scaling existing products, accelerating the time to market for innovations, and effectively addressing the skills shortage in the healthcare and service industries.
Clear growth agenda
Kerstin Wagner, Co-CEO & COO of the United Robotics Group (Holding), explains the consistent strategic focus on growth and expansion of the product portfolio as follows: “Our mission is clear: We develop robotics solutions that are already used in routine operations today – and scale them globally. The focus is on expanding our presence in the health and life science markets. With uLab Mobile, which integrates seamlessly into existing laboratory environments, we have already set the standard. Market demand is immense.”
Next milestone: humanoid robot uMe
In parallel with scaling its existing business areas, URG is driving the development of new technologies. "With uMe, we will present our humanoid robot at CES in Las Vegas in early 2026 – a milestone for us and the entire robotics industry," explains Wassim Saeidi, founder and CEO of the United Robotics Group (Holding). "Our solutions are made in Germany and thus stand for the highest quality and reliability. While many in the industry talk about visions, we are demonstrating that robotics is already having a real impact today: It is efficiently and sustainably counteracting the shortage of skilled workers in the healthcare sector. Ethics remains our guiding principle: We stand for technology that protects, relieves burdens, and improves lives."
Practical robotics solutions for health and service
The United Robotics Group combines years of robotics expertise with a clear focus on specific applications. In the laboratory sector, the uLab Mobile robot is already in use in more than 30 laboratories. Through close collaboration with leading laboratory equipment manufacturers, the robots are trained before delivery and can be integrated into existing workflows without any programming effort. URG also develops solutions for everyday nursing and hospital care that relieve the burden on healthcare professionals, make processes more efficient, and increase patient safety. With uMe, the portfolio will be expanded in the future to include humanoid robotics that can be seamlessly integrated into workflows.
