Power of ERDC#36: SandHound: Applying robotics to advance critical coastline survey capabilitiesFor several sweltering weeks along the North Carolina coastline, an ERDC teampushed a quadruped robot with a suite of advanced sensors to its limit to test its abilityto conduct critical beach landscape surveys.
The research – known as the SandHound Project – is working to validate whether thequadruped can operate at all levels of the coastal landscape and collect critical data thatone day can support emergency response and military landing operations.
