Walking Robot LAURON V - Search and Rescue

Published on Jul 12, 2013

The six-legged walking robot LAURON V was evaluated at the EU-Taranis Field Exercise in a Search and Rescue (SAR) scenario. The robust mechatronic system, the adaptive control system and its kinematic structure allow LAURON to walk over rough and unstructured terrain. The onboard sensor systems (cameras, IR-Camera, 3D lidar) enable LAURON to gather important information about the current site and support the Search and Rescue teams.
Filmed at "Chemical Accident Golling" site during the Taranis International Field Exercise, Austria, 2013.
