Session Description:
The personal robotics movement has resulted in a diffusion of low-cost robot platforms into geophysical domains such as hydrology, volcanology, and environmental science. Land, sea, and aerial robots have become new methods of sensing and sense-making for investigators because they allow access to locations that may have been previously unreachable. The flexible payloads of these robots permit geophysical information gathering at spatial and temporal scales that extend beyond the more fixed resolutions of traditional remote sensing platforms. The synthesis and integration of these data sets is expected to generate higher resolution physically based models that will enable better understanding and prediction of various system dynamics. This session will provide an interdisciplinary forum to discuss current and needed advances for field robot-based technologies focused towards geophysical applications. Contributions are invited from investigators who are developing and deploying novel robot platforms and/or payloads for any type of geophysical information gathering.
