A new robot design is being evaluated by the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) that could one day join the standard safety toolkit for commercial mine operators. Sandia National Laboratories recently showed off a mine rescue robot design that could make a major difference in mine disasters. The robot has a segmented body joined by a U-joint that allows the segments to move independently. That means that "you basically always have a track on the ground and clawing its way over rubble piles and stairs," says Jamieson "Jake" Deuel Jr., manager of robotic and security systems for the lab.
