Overview
Taurob is an Austrian robotics company that manufactures the Taurob Inspector, an ATEX-certified autonomous ground robot designed for inspection and monitoring in hazardous industrial environments including oil and gas plants, chemical facilities, and mines. The robot autonomously navigates plant infrastructure, collecting data from onboard cameras, gas detectors, and acoustic sensors without exposing personnel to dangerous conditions. It is certified for operation in explosive atmospheres (ATEX Zone 1/21).
