iRobot to develop 'ChemBot' for military
This story is from the category Augmenting Organics
Date posted: 27/06/2008
iRobot has secured a multimillion-dollar R&D contract for a new type of soft, flexible robot for the military.
The robot DARPA wants to see must be a soft, flexible, mobile robot that can squeeze into hard-to-reach places. The goal is to make a robot that would be "soft enough to squeeze or traverse through small openings, yet large enough to carry an operationally meaningful payload," according to DARPA's request. The robot will also need to change in size and shape to fit a given situation's needs.
