COMPACT RESCUE CRAWLER TESTBED

Rescue crawlerThe Compact Rescue Crawler (TB4) is a chemofluidically actuated hexapedal robot. The intent of the platform is primarily to demonstrate advances in high power density actuation for human-scale actuated systems, and to demonstrate advances in human interfaces with fluid-powered systems. The former aspect of the robot is primarily being conducted at Vanderbilt, while the latter aspect is primarily being conducted at Georgia Tech and NCAT.
