Von Kl Redaktion

young entrepreneurs set new standards with humanoid robots

The innovative strength from Germany's universities is once again evident in the person of Tom Segbers, a graduate of the Ravensburg-Weingarten (RWU) University, which makes a significant contribution to digital transformation with his commitment in the startup scene. After successfully completing the takeover of his company Layzr through the social media platform Jodel, Segbers is now devoted to the development of humanoid robots.

The growth history of Layzr

The Layzr GmbH, initially founded with the aim of developing digital Loyalty platforms for streamers, experienced a rapid ascent with the entry into the market of digital fan articles. Fans were able to acquire digital but also physical products through the platforms, which significantly intensified the interaction between content manufacturers and their followers. This approach has not only revolutionized the German live stream scene, but also enabled international cooperation with streamers from Brazil, Portugal and Great Britain.

The takeover and their influence on yodel

The takeover of Layzr by Jodel represents a significant development step for both companies. Jodel, which was previously known as a text-based platform, will now be able to enable users to design individual avatars by integrating Layzr’s tools. This step promotes not only the anonymity of the users, but also their creative expression on the platform.

The look into the future with Hammer Robotics

For Tom Segbers, however, the takeover does not mean standstill, but rather an exciting fresh start. Inspired by his studies, especially the Robo-Lab, he founded a new company with Hammer Robotics. The focus on humanoid robots, especially in the area of ​​logistics, shows that sailors want to beat the bridge between technology and practical use. This could not only open new professional perspectives for graduates from the RWU, but also have a significant impact on the labor market.

community and innovation

The network at the RWU remains an important anchor for Segbers. He emphasizes the importance of his circle of friends, from which other talents may enter the startup world. This connection shows how important the community is in the innovation landscape. Graduates who support each other can develop transformative ideas and implement them.

The journey of Tom Segbers and Layzr illustrates that young people with fresh ideas and a strong network are able to actively shape the digital landscape. The developments in Jodel and in the future at Hammer Robotics reflect the general trend that technology and creativity go hand in hand to take new ways in interaction and automation.
