  • Abstract
    The robotic mobility platform (RMP) has a small footprint, a zero turning radius, the ability to move over diverse terrains, and the capacity to carry up to 100 pounds. DARPA funded Segway´s RMP development as part of its mobile autonomous robot software project and challenged researchers to create solutions for operating autonomous mobile robots in dynamic, unstructured environments. That challenge proved so enticing that many researchers have taken their experiments with the platform beyond the DARPA project.
