Mobile Micro-Robotics Project Mobile Micro-Robotics Project
North Carolina State University

 

Overview

One of the biggest challenges for autonomous robotics is mobility. Current robots can perform complicated tasks on the smooth predictable floors of laboratories. However, these robots become useless in unpredictable and robust terrain.  The goal of this DARPA funded project is to research and produce small (5 cm) robots capable of traversing terrain such as building steps, rubble, or even forests and deserts.
