With its modular mobility system called CityBot, Edag has developed a swarm-intelligent, multifunctional, autonomous robotic vehicle running locally emission-free on fuel cells. In the ATZ interview, Gerhard Körbel and Johannes Barckmann give some insights into the concept, which can be configured as a people mover, cargo carrier, city cleaning device, or waste disposal vehicle.
Dipl.-Ing. Gerhard Körbel, M. Sc. (born in 1969), has worked at Edag Engineering since 1997. In 1994, he completed his studies in Aerospace Engineering at the Universität der Bundeswehr (University of the German Federal Armed Forces) in Munich (Germany) with a focus on lightweight structures. Since 2019, Körbel has also been involved on the complete vehicle level as Senior Project Manager in the Vehicle Engineering segment at Edag in Fulda. His role in the internal CityBot project is that of Overall Technical Project Manager.
