"Cool Robot" Uses Ground Penetrating Radar To Save Lives
Benjamin Walker, PhD Student, Engineering Sciences Ben Walker studies ways in which to conduct safe crevasse detection for sup¬ply traverse personnel through robotics research. Each year a heavy equipment resupply is conducted between Thule, NEEM and Summit Camp, Greenland, and this resupply must traverse heavily crevassed sections of the Greenland Ice Sheet to complete the job. Ben's research is developing a robot and instrument combination that will automatically collect and interpret this data.
