From June 24th to 28th, military robotics experts from all over the world gathered at the Wehrtechnische Dienststelle in Trier for the ELROB 2024 (European Land Robot Trials). Now in its twelfth year, this event is known for its challenging, practical tasks in realistic deployment scenarios.
This year, Roboverse Reply and ELP GmbH European Logistic Partners presented as a joint team the advances in bomb disposal technology using the agile walking robot Spot from Boston Dynamics. Spot’s ability to carry various additional payloads allows it to be used in potentially dangerous and hard-to-reach areas. For example, operators can precisely place mobile X-ray systems from a safe distance or use additional sensors to analyze hazardous situations. For five days, the system was put through its paces in various disciplines.
We would like to thank Roboverse Reply for the excellent teamwork and the Fraunhofer Institute for organizing this unique event.
