Ground Robotics defence companies in Austria

Builds ATEX-certified ground robots for autonomous inspection, gas detection and manipulation in explosive atmospheres across oil and gas, chemical, power and emergency response sectors.

Inspector

A multi-sensor inspection robot for routine data gathering on industrial sites, described by the company as 'the world's toughest data gathering robot.' It carries four 2K cameras for 360-degree coverage, a 4K camera on a four-joint articulated arm extending to 1,640 mm, thermal imaging, 3D LIDAR and optional gas detection sensors. ATEX Zone 1 certified, it runs for four hours per charge, climbs stairs at up to 45 degrees and transmits data in real time.

Gasfinder

A robot built exclusively for gas leak detection, which Taurob describes as the world's first specialised gas detection robot. It combines a FLIR G300 optical gas imaging camera with a Dräger X-am 8000 multi-gas sensor that can identify up to seven toxic or flammable gases and detect leaks as small as 2 grams per second from up to 20 metres. Like all Taurob robots, it is ATEX Zone 1 and IP67 rated.

Operator

A work-class robot for physical interaction with industrial equipment, capable of valve manipulation, gauge reading and handling of heavy components. Its five-degree-of-freedom arm lifts up to 75 kg and delivers approximately 150 Nm of torque. The Operator carries dual 3D LIDAR systems, thermal imaging and integrated gas detection, and is designed for level 1 maintenance tasks that would otherwise require a human in a hazardous zone.

ATEX Wallbox

A stationary docking station that enables continuous robot deployment in ATEX Zone 1 environments without human intervention. It charges robot batteries fully in 100 minutes and automatically pressurises robots via external nitrogen supply. The Wallbox has no powered moving parts, requires no internet connection and integrates a gas sensor for safe operation. It is available in wall-mounted and self-standing configurations.

Autonomous underwater drones for subsea surveillance and hull inspection using proprietary Relative Object Navigation technology. Generates 10,000+ data points per square metre for port security and critical infrastructure monitoring without manual intervention.

Metal MOLLE panels and weapon mounting systems for military and police vehicles. Lightweight modular racks for securing firearms and tactical equipment, used by the Austrian Jagdkommando special operations force.
