ARCHE 2023 - Robotics for the disaster relief of the future
The "Advanced Robotic Capabilities for Hazardous Environments" event, ARCHE for short, took place at Avully from 10 to 14 July 2023, the first time it has been held in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. The event is a collaboration between the DDPS's Swiss Drone and Robotics Centre (SDRZ) of armasuisse Science and Technology, the Engineering/Rescue/ABC training unit and ETH Zurich. The aim of the ARCHE platform is to enable robotics application findings to be used to assist the armed forces and other authorities with a security role in the area of disaster relief and to make it possible to assess the use of robotics in this context.
