Rescue Robotics

Research group

Our Competence

Based on a problem presented to us, our expertise lies in being able to very quickly create an initial helping tool in the form of a physical prototype. This prototype is then continuously tested, evaluated and improved together with the rescue services until it fulfills the decisive advantage under real conditions.

Our Motivation

A rising number of catastrophes human or nature made, lead to the necessity to additionally support rescue teams in form of new technologies. In our Rescue Robotics Research Group, we are focusing on how to expand the capacity of emergency teams in disasters, where lots of personnel is necessary but the workload is still overwhelming and also on how to extend interventions that are currently impossible due to inaccessibility.

For Example: With the support of new electronic mechanical tools and artificial intelligence, which we develop closely with emergency paramedics, the manual workload for personnel can be decreased while the high quality of aid remains. By this, paramedics save time, energy and are able to take better care, if there is a high number of persons that need immediate help. Simultaneously with our systems we try to use the transport time to continuously stabilize the patients.
