DARPA SubT Challenge – CERBERUS Team Concept Video
“CERBERUS: CollaborativE walking & flying RoBots for autonomous ExploRation in Underground Settings” is one of the projects and teams selected to participate in the DARPA Subterranean (SubT) Challenge.
Project CERBERUS will bring groundbreaking robotic solutions into the field of subterranean deployments. CERBERUS envisions a system of walking and flying robots equipped with multi-modal perception systems, navigation and mapping autonomy, and self-organized networked communications that enable robust and reliable navigation, exploration, mapping, and object search in complex, sensing-degraded, stringent, dynamic, and rough underground settings. The robotic embodiment of these capabilities will enable unprecedented levels of operational awareness in such environments, and will thus become a game changer for a large variety of subterranean operations in both civilian and military domains.
Team CERBERUS is based on the collaboration between a team of experts that for the last years have been at the forefront of walking and flying robots research. This includes Professor Kostas Alexis, director of the Autonomous Robots Lab at UNR, Professor Marco Hutter of the Robotic Systems Lab at ETH Zurich, Professor Roland Siegwart of the Autonomous Systems Lab at ETH Zurich, Professor Mark Mueller of the HiPeR Lab at U.C. Berkeley, Sierra Nevada Corporation based in Sparks, Nevada and Flyability based in Switzerland. The cumulative expertise of the team enables the successful development and reliable operation of the CERBERUS system in the SubT Challenge.
