SQUISHY ROBOTICS

Squishy robots are rapidly deployable mobile sensing robots for disaster rescue, remote monitoring and space exploration. Their emergent technologies are at the fusion of robotics, mobile sensing, machine learning, big data fusion and smart IoT (Internet of Things). Their first target market is the HazMat and CBRNE (Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive) response market, enabling life-saving maneuvers and securing the safety of first responders by providing situational awar... eness and sensor data in uncharted terrain. This product can be deployed with multiple – even swarms – of collaborative squishy robots, equipped with visual, audio, chemical, biological, radiological and GPS sensors, that can traverse rough environments and be quickly deployed by ground or aerial vehicle to inform first responders, and assist in the rescue of victims until human first responders can arrive. Their customizable platform is being designed for dynamically changing situations and they expect future applications to include scientific monitoring, delivery services, smart home appliances, as well as educational applications for K-12 students, teachers, parents, roboticists and hobbyists.More
