The use of robotic systems in hazardous environments requires a high degree of autonomy of these systems.

Competence Center »ROBDEKON«

The competence center »Robotic systems for decontamination in hazardous environments« is dedicated to the research of autonomous and semi-autonomous robotic systems, which are to be practically used in areas where work previously involved a considerable risk for humans.

ROBDEKON also comprises a network that consolidates and strengthens the scientific and technological competencies of the Federal Republic of Germany with regard to the thematic focus of robot-based decontamination. The competence center acts as a »technology hub« that transfers promising robot technologies from science and research into practical systems with the participation of users and manufacturers.
