During her visit in our lab, the minister informed herself about current research at the chair of robotics, especially in the range of autonomous offroad-vehicles. The grant for the project "Autonome Nutzfahrzeuge für den Katastrophenschutz von morgen" (Autonomous Commercial Vehicles for tomorrows emergency services) will especially be used for further research on our Unimog U5023.
