Multi Dimensional Mobility Robot (MDMR)

Program Manager: Dr. Edward van Reuth

Overview

The Multi Dimensional Mobility Robot (MDMR) program will investigate concepts using serpentine mobility to achieve new ground robot capabilities for search and rescue applications.  The MDMR system will navigate complex urban terrain and provide the operator with real time images of its environment.  Examples of the capability include: overcoming obstacles that are a significant fraction of its length, crossing slippery surfaces, ascending poles, climbing steep slopes, and optically sensing its immediate surroundings.  The MDMR platform will be able to support a variety of search missions in hazardous environments such as urban rubble piles.  To achieve such a degree of mobility, design concepts must address system challenges such as: on board power management; situational awareness; complex terrain navigation; and system controls.
