Wind-powered robot could enable long-term exploration of hostile environments
- bell-cot 8mo agotl;dr; - > This initial robot is a low TRL prototype, made to demonstrate how a robot can harness wind power to move. The next step will be to increase the maneuverability, giving WANDER-bot the ability to change directions and tackle more challenging terrain. The "robot" looks cool - but a real-life tumbleweed would be more capable, cheaper, and much more resilient.
