“This is the ranger SRV robot. It’s a rugged robot
based on the surveyor open source robot. It can be remote
controlled over the internet or programmed for autonomous missions.

“Is a nice piece of work in itself, supporting several control
modes, the little unit can crawl around at around one foot per
second. Its wireless receiver streams video to the web, and you can
control and monitor the bot with any major operating system or via
a web browser. If you don’t feel like taking manual control of the
surveyor, it can do fine by himself driving around, navigating
obstacles, and even communicating with others of his kind via
IR.”
