RPTU's Robot Systems Chair Revolutionizes Construction & Agri Machinery
The Chair of Robot Systems at RPTU is making waves in the automation sector, particularly in construction and agricultural machinery. Their research focuses on relieving workers from high-concentration tasks and addressing the skilled worker shortage. They will showcase their projects, including the rescue robot 'SUGV1', at the Hannover Messe from March 31 to April 4.
The Chair's work involves enabling various construction vehicles to perform tasks autonomously using sensor technology, control engineering, and artificial intelligence. This includes a crane that loads tree trunks autonomously, an autonomous excavator, a slope-stabilizing drilling machine, a self-navigating Unimog, and a rescue robot for disaster areas. These vehicles are equipped with camera and sensor systems, powerful computing capabilities, and use deep learning methods for environmental perception and task performance.
While technically feasible, series production of these autonomous machines requires know-how transfer to the industry, clarification of legal and insurance issues, and more affordable components. The Chair is actively working on these aspects to bring autonomy to the mainstream.
The Chair of Robot Systems at RPTU is at the forefront of automation in transport and construction machines. Their research not only advances the field but also has the potential to address the shortage of skilled workers. Their presence at the Hannover Messe is an opportunity to learn more about their cutting-edge projects and the future of automation in these sectors.
