[VIRTUAL] GRASP Industry Talk: FoVI3D, “Introduction to FoVI’s Carry, Roam, Observe (CRO) Robotics Program”

ABSTRACT

First responders and Soldiers routinely carry between 60 and 100 pounds of gear over terrain and missions that often required running and jumping. Therefore, it is not uncommon for these individuals to experience short-term muscle strain which can result in more serious conditions such as degenerative arthritis and bone spurs. This talk provides the high-level program goals, concepts, and progress to develop a rugged, off-road, 4×2 wheeled, electric mule designed to follow first responders or soldiers over difficult terrain.
