The ROBAUCO project has developed intelligent robots capable of helping emergency service teams in fires and earthquakes, among others. This is a project on autonomous and auxiliary mobile robots involving technological centers such as Tekniker-Ik4 or Fatronik.

These robots have great mobility and autonomy, so they are ideal to support groups of experts working in this type of events. In fact, in these cases there is usually very little time to save survivors from these emergency situations.

Two prototypes have already been developed that have been tested in different emergency situations. They are designed to respond to chemical factory spills and parking fires.
