Experimental CBRNE robots

When tasks are too dangerous for humans, robots provide support. CBRNE reconnaissance is a prime example of such a task. Despite having the right equipment and extensive training, a danger to life and limb for the armed forces and emergency services can never be completely ruled out. Here is where robots equipped with CBRNE sensor technology and autonomous assistance functions can take over for humans.
