Field robots belong particularly to the categories of automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics. These robots are specifically designed to carry out tasks outside of protected environments such as factory halls. This means they are deployed in areas where humans encounter significant challenges – for example, on construction sites, in agriculture, or in disaster relief.
Field robots are equipped with sensors, cameras, and often artificial intelligence. This allows them to analyse plants, weed, or carry out harvesting tasks, for example. They provide valuable assistance, particularly in dangerous or hard-to-access areas, as they perform tasks automatically and precisely.
A vivid example: After an earthquake, field robots search collapsed buildings for buried people. They can enter dangerous or toxic environments without risk to rescue workers, transmit images, and even deliver small aid packages.
Field robots thus simplify work, enhance safety, and help to use resources more efficiently. The use of modern technology automates work processes and often makes them more sustainable.
