Robot Built to Explore Antarctica
[Edit]
The SnoMote Goes Where You Won't[Edit]
Antarctica’s frigid conditions make exploration dangerous for us humans. Enter SnoMote. SnoMote is a roving, autonomous snowmobile/robot designed by Georgia Tech to gather weather data and maneuver in the snowy terrain. The researchers are hoping to sell the robot for $10,000, which includes the sporty paint job.  Robotic rovers have patrolled deep space and the deepest seas, but scientists are still struggling to create drones that can overcome the multiple challenges of exploring Antarctica... She envisions a field of 40 to 50 of the SnoMotes wandering icy plains, a small army gathering data to shed light on global warming and other quandaries without breaking the bank.
