Autonomous off-road vehicles and more: How DLR provides humanitarian aid. The DLR, based in Oberpfaffenhofen, has renewed its alliance with the United Nations World Food Program.

Technology is used to combat famines and other disasters.

The Data4Human project uses AI-based damage detection to help provide timely and accurate satellite and drone information about affected areas.
