This is one of the research project where I am involved as a Principal Investigator at the TU Dresden (Germany). The project deals with developing intelligent nano-sensors, sensor networks, mobile robots and UAVs to monitor dangerous, inaccessible, and extensive environments such as toxic gases detection following man-made or natural disasters as well as search and rescue operations. The video is in German; the English version will follow.

Workshop with Mining-RoX team in Freiberg

In July 2019, shortly after the start of the project, some employees of the SNIFFBOT project visited the TU Bergakademie Freiberg to hold a workshop on mining robots with the employees of the Mining-RoX project.

We briefly introduced our project and explained our plans and challenges that lay in the project before us. On the part of the Freiberger team, the workshop was mainly about the Julius robot. The SNIFFBOT team prepared an acquisition of similar robot systems and had questions about robot hardware and control software.

Steve Grehl from the Underground Robotics Group Freiberg laboratory introduced us to the Julius robot and explained where we should pay attention and the difficulties they had to overcome. The ROS tools they developed for underground navigation were explained to us and the robot was shown in action.
