[1] Founded in 2010 by Lukas Silberbauer and Matthias Biegl[2] with the aim of developing robots for fire fighters the company has since expanded to other domains such as police, civil-defence, military and the oil and gas industry.

Forming a collaborative team named ARGONAUTS with TU Darmstadt, Taurob participated in Total Energies' ARGOS (Autonomous Robots for Oil and Gas Sites) challenge between 2014 and 2017.

In August 2020 the Taurob Inspector performed the world's first offshore deployment of an ATEX certified robot with its week-long mission on a platform in Total Energies' K5 gas field 110km off the coast of the Netherlands.

The mission focused on robotically surveying the platform for corrosion and on teleoperation from an on-shore control room.

The company is currently designing the first OWCR (Offshore Work Class Robot) with a heavy duty arm as part of a joint industry project with Total Energies, Equinor and SAFT.
