Coastal engineers, emergency response teams and military planners may soon have a new best friend, thanks to continued research at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC).
For several weeks, a quadruped robot was deployed along North Carolina beaches – at the ERDC Field Research Facility in Duck, North Carolina – to test its ability to navigate the unique coastline terrain, deploy advanced sensors and collect critical landscape data.
The Sand Hound project – a partnership between ERDC and the University of Delaware – has sought to test the commercially available technology, pushing it to the limits and writing the book on how best to deploy such technology for either civil works or military missions.
