Antarctic Robot From Dartmouth
A group of students and faculty at Dartmouth NASA's goal is to use the robot to search for evidence of bacteria in Antarctic snow. The project would serve as a template for any future efforts to explore the terrain of Mars in search of life.
The team was able to sucessfully test the robot in Greenland, where there are similar weather patterns to the antarctic. Potential uses include measuring magnetic fields, testing "ice-runways" for safety, and for porting equipment over long distances.
The robot is named "Cool Robot." Clever.
