Polar Bot visits the E-Base

7th March, 2008

The Polar Bot is a revolutionary, semi-autonomous robot used for exploring and monitoring harsh environments. It was developed by Dr. Robert Twiggs and his team at Stanford University’s Space Systems Development Laboratory. The Bot has a built-in GPS tracking system, camera, and weather station, among other features. Satish Chetty of Stanford University will accompany the Polar Bot to the E-base this year to demonstrate its numerous applications within the Antarctic environment.
