From June 15 to 19, 2026, it’s that time of year again: our robotics experts are taking part in the European Land Robot Trial (ELROB) in Switzerland – one of the most demanding international competitions for unmanned systems in safety-relevant environments. Over the course of five days, companies, researchers, users, authorities and organizations with security tasks from various countries will compete and present their technologies under realistic operating conditions.
The competition comprises four central disciplines: Convoying, Recon, Mule (transport) and Search & Rescue (SAR). This year, the focus is particularly on the coordinated interaction of unmanned ground and air vehicles (UGV/UAS).
We have already impressed with our strong performance at ELROB on several occasions and have received awards for our systems. In 2026, we will continue to pursue the goal of demonstrating innovative approaches and actively shaping the further development of robust, practical robotics solutions.
