In November 1996, he took over as chair of what was then the VDI Technical Committee on \u2018Driverless Transport Systems\u2019, which is now known as the \u2018Mobile Robotics\u2019 Committee.<\/p><p>He can thus look back on almost 40 years of work on technical committees \u2013 around 30 of those as chair. During this time, he has played a key role in guiding and shaping the development of the AGV sector and mobile robotics. National and international standards were established, VDI guidelines and technical publications were drawn up, and professional exchange within a steadily growing industry was promoted.<\/p><p>His commitment extends far beyond the technical committee. Among other things, G\u00fcnter Ullrich served as chairman of the VDI Ruhr District Association from 2012 to 2019 and chaired its ETHIK Advisory Board from 2008 to 2019. Furthermore, he has been actively involved for many years in various programme and technical committees within the field of intralogistics.<\/p><p>The VDI Medal of Honour recognises his decades of outstanding service to the engineering community, his promotion of automated guided vehicle systems and mobile robotics, and his exemplary voluntary work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fe686c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-gallery\" data-id=\"fe686c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;gallery_layout&quot;:&quot;masonry&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:3,&quot;lazyload&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;columns_tablet&quot;:2,&quot;columns_mobile&quot;:1,&quot;gap&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_widescreen&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_laptop&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;gap_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:10,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;link_to&quot;:&quot;file&quot;,&quot;overlay_background&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;content_hover_animation&quot;:&quot;fade-in&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-gallery__container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"e-gallery-item elementor-gallery-item elementor-animated-content\" href=\"https:\/\/forum-fts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Ehrung_2026-09-23_03.webp\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-slideshow=\"fe686c2\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"Dr.-Ing.
