Ausgestattet mit Video- und Gasfernmesstechnik ist der Roboter imstande, Inspektionsaufgaben in Industrieanlagen durchzuführen, ohne in mögliche Gefahrenbereiche direkt einfahren zu müssen und ohne, dass ein Mensch vor Ort anwesend ist. Der Roboter kann zur routinemäßigen Inspektion von Anlagen oder zur gezielten Untersuchung spezifischer Anlagenteile engesetzt werden.

In addition, it includes an option to intervene manually in the process using teleoperation. Equipped with video and remote gas detection technology, the robot can carry out inspections in industrial plants without having to enter possible hazard areas and without any person present on site. The robot can be used for routine inspection of plants or systematic examination of specific parts of the plant. Using remote metrology technology, it is also possible to inspect parts of the plant that are difficult to inspect using traditional measuring instruments due to limited accessibility.}, author = {Habib, Abdelkarim and Bonow, Gero and Kroll, Andreas and Hegenberg, Jens and Schmidt, Ludger and Barz, Thomas and Schulz, Dirk}, interhash = {b1310685a9a5262b364c284ed0419845}, intrahash = {3f0b39d64407d5a24ccdf568ddb0286d}, journal = {{Ex-MAGAZINE} 2014}, language = {english}, mrtnote = {robogas,pke,nopeer}, note = {ISSN 0176-2419}, owner = {duerrbaum}, pages = {91-97}, title = {Robo{G}as{I}nspector Research Project: Detecting Gas Leaks With Autonomous Mobile Robots}, url = {http://www.r-stahl.com/fileadmin/Dateien/ex-zeitschrift/2014/en/Ex_Magazine_2014_web.pdf}, volume = 40, year = 2014 } @inproceedings{Barz2012, abstract = {Industrial plants are a vital and common asset of modern society in a various number of ways.
