The Scout robot, created by CSE Professor Nikos Papanikolopoulos and his students, was featured in a story in The Minnesota Daily this week. The story focused on the tremendous search and rescue, and reconnaissance capabilities of the Scout. The robot is currently used by members of law enforcement and the military.

In addition to the print story, The Minnesota Daily also posted a multimedia story about the Scout on its Web site. In the video, CSE graduate student Andrew Drenner demonstrates how to use the robot. To view the print story, visit 'Small robot scouts hazardous situations.'
