Project: Highly mobile autonomous robots for remote monitoring of plants in explosive atmospheres

We want to develop autonomous robots which carry out monitoring and inspection tasks in industrial plants. Their application will increase a plant’s safety and reduce tedious, error-prone and dangerous tasks carried out by humans. This applies especially to the chemical and oil & gas industry where harsh environmental conditions, including explosive atmospheres, are common. The mobile robot can be remotely operated at different autonomy levels between full autonomy and assisted tele-operation.
