The 1999 Mobile Robot Exhibition: Participant

ATRV, Urban Robot ("Urbie")

Grinnell More, Laura Woodbury, Todd Pack

ISR/RWI, in collaboration with Robin Murphy, will demonstrate marsupial robotics. The marsupial robot team is comprised of an ATRV Robot functioning as a mobile "base station" for an Urban Robot. The Urban Robot employs its' unique stair climbing locomotion mechanism to deploy from, and return to, the ATRV-mounted base station.

Marsupial robotics research offers several unique research challenges, including: control of high mobility systems, data communications, charge docking, cooperative sensing, and cooperative motion.
