KBTX-TV Bryan/College Station, TX (3/8, Oder) reported, "International research at Disaster City near Texas A&M may eventually save lives worldwide" through the development of search and rescue robots. "We're seeing the mobility change to more biometric type, pneumatic types, where you've got snakes, you've got caterpillar robots," says Dr. Robin Murphy, head of Texas A&M's Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue. The researchers are working with experts from the Japan Science and Technology Agency to improve disaster-assistance robotics.
