Dresden Advances Smart Facility Management with New Autonomous Service Robots The City of Dresden is continuing to explore innovative and sustainable urban technologies within MOBILITIES FOR EU. As part of the city’s smart mobility and automation activities, two autonomous service robots have now been introduced at the Sportpark Ostra. An autonomous cleaning robot is already in operation at the Heinz-Steyer-Stadion, a major athletics and sports stadium in Dresden’s Ostragehege, while an intelligent artificial turf maintenance robot is currently being prepared for deployment on the artificial turf pitches. As lead partner for communication and dissemination, Steinbeis Europa Zentrum shares the project results with both expert audiences and the general public to foster acceptance and enable future scaling. It shows in various formats, such as video, print, and newsletters, how sustainable and user-centered mobility solutions can be implemented in practice. In addition, Steinbeis is responsible for developing initial business models for suitable project outcomes as well as conducting market analyses and workshops for result exploitation. The autonomous cleaning robot, the TASKI GS Ecobot 50 Pro, has officially been in permanent operation at the stadium since November 2025. Using AI-supported navigation and pre-programmed digital maps, the robot independently cleans indoor floor areas by automatically following predefined routes. Equipped with advanced sensors, cameras and LiDAR technology, the robot can safely navigate even complex environments while optimising cleaning efficiency and reducing resource consumption. The system is capable of autonomous route planning, obstacle detection and real-time adaptation during operation. With a cleaning capacity of up to 1,800 m² per hour and intelligent water recycling technology that can reduce fresh water consumption by up to 80%, the robot contributes not only to operational efficiency but also to Dresden’s sustainability ambitions. Complementing this innovation, Dresden has also received an artificial turf maintenance robot, the Turfrob. The installation and
