Can you teach a robot to swim and walk? Daily Planet covers the AQUA robot

The Daily Planet featured the robotics collaboration between 91��ɫ Professor Michael Jenkin and McGill University Professor Gregory Dudek on January 14, 2011.They are the co-creaters of AQUA, a small submersible robot that swims using paddle legs and carries cameras and position sensors that relay information back to the screen of the tablet computer via an […]

Dream of exploring shipwrecks? Check out Professor Michael Jenkin's wireless controller and underwater robot

A waterproof controller designed and built by 91��ɫ researchers is allowing an underwater robot to go “wireless” in a unique way. AQUA, an amphibious, otter-like robot, is small and nimble, with flippers rather than propellers, designed for intricate data collection from shipwrecks and reefs. The robot, a joint project of 91��ɫ, McGill and Dalhousie […]
