Rescue robots, built by students at TU Berlin.
We are FUSE. We design and build tracked robots for the RoboCup Rescue League, where robots are tested on the tasks emergency responders need help with.
What is RoboCup Rescue?
The RoboCup Rescue Robot League runs rigorous, fair competitions built around the tasks that matter to emergency responders. It also tracks how robotic systems improve over time, so responders can see which capabilities are ready for real use.
Robots are scored on standard test methods for mobility, manipulation, operator skill and autonomy. A capability shown in ten or more successful trials counts as reliable. The best scores from the preliminary round qualify for harder, combined scenarios in the finals.
- Preliminaries
- Standard and draft test methods check function, reliability, operator skill and autonomy.
- Finals
- Harder, combined scenarios where several robots are tested at the same time.

We finished our first prototype just in time for the competition. Despite plenty of problems, the robot performed better than we expected. We learned a lot from this run and are already building a second version.

From the arena
Who we are
FUSE is a team of students, mostly from the Technical University of Berlin, working across mechanical design, electronics and software. Together we are building a robot for the RoboCup Rescue competition.
