Field robots belong in particular to the categories of automation, artificial intelligence and robots. These robots are specially designed to perform work outside of protected environments such as factory halls. This means that they are used where humans encounter major challenges - for example on construction sites, in agriculture or in disaster control.
Field robots are equipped with sensors, cameras and often artificial intelligence. This enables them to analyse plants, weed or carry out harvesting work, for example. They provide valuable assistance, particularly in dangerous or difficult-to-access areas, as they carry out tasks automatically and precisely.
An illustrative example: After an earthquake, field robots search for people trapped in collapsed buildings. They can enter dangerous or toxic environments without risk to rescue workers, transmit images and even deliver small aid packages.
Field robots therefore make work easier, ensure greater safety and help to utilise resources more efficiently. The use of modern technology automates work processes and often makes them more sustainable.
