Chemical accident robot

The long years of advanced study of the students, Michael Bauß, Jörg Schauß, Christoph von Rüden and Andreas Espenschied, at the technical college for automation technology in Mainz are over.

The team decided on the construction of a robot as the final project. The objective of the design was the replacement of fire department personnel by robots in case of an accident, for instance at a chemical plant.

With the emphasis on automation technology, the team came up with something entirely special. With the aid of an integrated sensor technology, the radio-controlled robot is in a position to convey data from the accident spot. This enables a targeted procedure for rescue operations. The robot can be coordinated at the accident spot through infrared and built-in cameras. An integrated gripper arm can additionally take sample materials and also remove objects from the way.

The project team decided on the support of the igus® GmbH. The iglidur®- and igubal®-bearings convinced the students by their low weight and very low coefficients of friction in dry operation. "The simple installation of the products was also an important criterion," says Andreas Espenschied.
