Naval Postgraduate School Monterey, Calif. (April 27, 2006) - Naval Postgraduate School student Ensign Tom Dunbar of the Combat Systems Sciences and Technology program, works with an autonomous robot originally designed to manuever in agricultural settings. The autonomous robot, dubbed AGBOT, has been modified though to conduct its operations in the surf zone. Dunbar, now in his 4th quarter of the Immediate Graduate Education Program brings this project to its fifth iteration. The project is a collaboration of schools. Case Western developed the mechanical parts of the robot while NPS physics prof. Rich Harkens and students built the software and autonomy programming, the brains of this six legged tractor that uses a combination of a wheel and leg for its mobility, called Whegs. Dunbar's modifications have been significant. "I've increased rigidity in the chasis, enhanced the steering control mechanism and expanded the distribution in the power bus, which is important to battery power consumption.
