Robert Bosch GmbH is a global technology and engineering company founded by Robert Bosch in a Stuttgart workshop in 1886. Today it employs roughly 418,000 people worldwide and operates across four business segments: mobility, industrial technology, consumer goods, and energy and building technology. Its mobility business encompasses automotive components and systems, with particular focus on sensor technology, software, connectivity, automated driving, and electrification.

Among its products are sensors developed for automated and autonomous driving applications, power tools for both professional and DIY users, and smart home systems designed to help save energy. Technical domains span sensor technology, software, connectivity, electrification, digitalization, sustainability, smart home and IoT, and energy efficiency. The company's activities are global in scope, with its founding location and headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany.

Bosch states its purpose through the brand claim "Invented for life", with an emphasis on quality, reliability, and solving practical problems rather than developing technology for its own sake. The company also describes a commitment to sustainability and conserving natural resources, and notes collaboration between R&D teams and factory-floor workers toward shared goals.
