A team of eight Dartmouth engineering students was awarded
Best Technical Paper at NASA’s Breakthrough, Innovative and Game-changing (BIG) Idea Challenge. The team was one of eight finalists selected from across the country to present lunar exploration technology concepts and prototypes at the BIG Idea Challenge virtual forum earlier this month.
The Dartmouth team’s idea, SHREWs: Strategic Highly-compliant Roving Explorers of other Worlds, focuses on mobility achieved through a class of robots able to latch on to each other to minimize the chance of getting stuck or having to be rescued. The team took inspiration from shrews, who latch onto each others tails, forming a train or caravan, in order to move in a quick and orderly fashion. The modular, collaborative rovers were designed to help explore the Permanently Shadowed Regions (PSRs) of the Lunar South Pole.
