A-DRZ - Establishment of the German Centre for Rescue Robotics

As a founding member of the DRZ, the University of Luebeck will contribute its expertise in the field of medical robotics and autonomous systems. In particular, concepts for contactless determination of vital signs using infrared laser systems will be unvestigated. In the medium term, this should result in a modular payload component for medium to large roboict systems. As a second technical approach, strategies for the use of combined air-water drones will be decevloped in order to be able to localise people behind water obstacles in emergency situations such as floods, water ingress or people trapped at open sea. As Germany`s first institution with an undergraduate programme in ‘Robotics and Autonomous Systems’, the University of Luebeck will also develop concepts for anchoring rescue robotics in academic education. Vocational training modules are also planned, for example training BOS personnel in the use of robotic systems.
