About RoMan
Roman was built to advance the ability of autonomous robots to interact with the wide variety of objects that they might encounter in human-scale environments, be they small and hard to grasp or large, heavy, and difficult to move. It uses its tracked base and array of sensors to navigate any relatively flat terrain, such as inside buildings, around urban streets, and through grassy outdoor areas. Its potential applications include search-and-rescue missions in disaster zones, where it could help clear rubble or lift and move obstacles. The RoMan platform was developed in collaboration with the CCDC Army Research Laboratory.
