Title :
Operation: microrobot
Abstract :
In an effort that may well revolutionize military information gathering in urban environments, a consortium of US organizations is developing a small mobile robot capable of conducting reconnaissance into areas that are either too dangerous for soldiers to enter or are otherwise inaccessible. The project is part of the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency´s Tactical Mobile Robotics (TMR) program. The paper discusses the project challenges and logistics
