SZENARIS new member of the German Rescue Robotics Centre

The "Living Lab" of the DRZ e.V. (Deutsches Rettungsrobotik-Zentrum e.V.) was opened in Dortmund on 1 October. SZENARIS was also welcomed as a new member during this festive event.

The competence centre, which is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), enables the research and development of mobile robotic systems for civil emergency response. The various systems can be tested for their suitability for use in different scenarios on test areas (indoors and outdoors). Since 2018, the German Rescue Robotics Centre (DRZ e.V.) has been pursuing the goal of promoting the development of robotic systems for the rescue and protection of people and property. The focus is on research and development in the field of rescue robotics and the corresponding vocational training, rescue from life-threatening situations, fire, occupational and civil protection and accident prevention. The association also promotes networking between emergency services, users, companies and research institutions.
As part of the opening speech of the "Living Lab", Dirk Aschenbrenner, Head of the Dortmund Fire Department and Chairman of the Board of the DRZ e.V., welcomed SZENARIS Managing Director Dr Uwe Katzky on behalf of all participating companies. As a company that has been developing simulation solutions for rescue robotics for over 10 years (including training systems for tEODor, telemax, PackBot EOD, Seefuchs), SZENARIS is following the opening of the German Rescue Robotics Centre with great excitement and welcomes the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts.

SZENARIS realises products for demanding learning content with e-learning, extended reality (XR) and simulation in many areas, such as plant and mechanical engineering, medicine, agricultural technology, defence and security, IT and communication technology, logistics and wind energy.
