On 17 April 2023, the Development Centre for Ship Technology and Transport Systems and its research partners in the CoboTank joint project welcomed members of the Independent Tank Storage Association to a workshop in Duisburg.

The CoboTank consortium was able to present the concept of the collaborative robot to support the loading process of inland tankers to the guests and receive valuable tips and comments. Overall, the members of the association confirmed that the concept was highly relevant in practice, could be easily realised at many locations and would be effective once implemented.

Following this milestone in the project, the next step is to develop the first demonstrator!
