This is really interesting; is there somewhere with more detail on the work completed under this program?

      And just to make sure I wasn't getting suckered by two groups collaborating, it's also on archive.org from that timeframe. https://web.archive.org/web/20200808234935/https://www.ge.com/news/reports/dig-this-ge-engineers-learned-from-worms-how-to-build-underminer-a-tunneling-robot-funded-by-darpa https://web.archive.org/web/20200808234935/https://www.ge.co...

    That's disappointing, isn't this a legitimately good idea? Judging from the current Russian invasion into Ukraine, a tunnel into Mariupol to deliver supplies would have been useful, not to mention the defensive usefulness of underground bunkers throughout Ukraine which have shielded civilians.
