About NeBula-Husky
These robots are designed to develop and test technologies for autonomously exploring unknown environments. NeBula-Husky has been successfully tested on Earth in mines, caves, and subterranean urban areas.
Brains and Brawn
NeBula-Husky's resilient four-wheeled platform carries a suite of sensors that measure how it moves and what is around. Onboard computers process the data, run autonomous control software, and radio information back to an operator.
Badges of Honor
Some of the stickers seen on NeBula-Husky's stickers are mementos from its successful field tests.
