May 10, 2021
DULUTH, Minn.- From the minds of UMD Students comes a robot that can climb walls, carry and drop off items their entry in this year’s Air Force Research Lab Challenge.
The challenge was to design a remote controlled, autonomous robot that could climb walls and deploy sensors or cameras in hostile territory.
UMD’S rover is outfitted with a moveable camera for visibility, and four wheels and two propellers which allow the driver to actually drive it up walls to deliver payloads in places a human can’t reach, or where they could be compromised.
