This video displays the work of eight computer and electrical engineers constructing a Wifi repeater-deploying tread robot as part of a senior design project at Northeastern University. The project was constructed at Artisan’s Asylum located in Somerville, MA.
The beast above is a robotic system intended to be operated remotely in hazardous areas where network infrastructure is scarce. The robot is controlled over a WiFi network that originates on the robot and is extended by dropping the black repeater units on its back.
