Imagine a four-legged robot that can scavenge through tunnels one thousand feet underground in pitch darkness. Conceived and built by a team of University of Colorado Boulder researchers and students, the robots, initially designed to find survivors in collapsed mines, caves, and damaged buildings, are now being tasked with other challenges. The robots placed third as the top U.S. entry…
