Gemini-Scout Robot Detects Mining Accidents And Save Lives (Video) So far we have seen robots entering hazardous nuclear plants and dangerous buildings and repairing things that cannot be repaired by humans. Now engineers at Sandia Labs have created a new rescue bot that's explicitly designed to enter and investigate collapsed mines. The Gemini-Scout robot is just two feet tall and less than four feet in length and packs a set of gas sensors, a thermal camera and a two-way radio, allowing it to detect dangerous underground materials and relay critical information to above-ground rescue workers. The bot can also navigate across rocky terrain, tight quarters, or flooded tunnels, and is sturdy enough to carry food and other supplies to trapped miners. Operators, meanwhile, can manipulate the Gemini-Scout using only an Xbox 360 controller, which was incorporated into the system on the strength of its intuitive design and UI. Sandia's engineers demoed their bot last week in DC and are hoping to begin licensing it to rescue agencies by the end of next year.
