Dig This: GE Engineers Learned from Worms How to Build Underminer, A Tunneling Robot Funded by DARPA
Looking like a giant earthworm and moving at a fast clip, a 6-foot-long, 2-inch wide robot recently burrowed through the ground at GE Research’s testing site in Niskayuna, New York. Once it is fully operational, the robot’s engineers expect it will be able to dig a tunnel longer than five football fields in just 90 minutes.
- Awarded 15- month, $2.5 MM through DARPA’s Underminer program to develop faster, more efficient ways to dig tunnels in support of critical military operations
- GE Research team’s bio-inspired soft robot design mimics the rhythmic movements of earthworms moving through soil and the force of tree roots growing into the ground to create underground tunnel networks
- New capabilities could enable a multitude of robotic applications, ranging from non-destructive inspection and repair of industrial infrastruct

Лилипут с стране гулливеров
«В полной боевой экипировке он с осторожностью продвигается вперед, внимательно осматривая окрестности, тщательно изучая рельеф, чутко улавливая доносящиеся звуки. Его задача – составить развернутую карту местности, выявить потенциально уязвимые места, оперативно передать в штаб ценные сведения…». Думаете, перед вами фрагмент учебника по подготовке разведгрупп? Ошибаетесь. Это описание функционала робота MAGIC (Miniature Air Gap Inspection Crawlers) от GE, используемого для обследования состояния генераторов газовых и паровых турбин.
