Part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy, or ARPA-E, program known as Transportation Energy Resources from Renewable Agriculture, or TERRA, the gantry robot continuously scans an area of over an acre to identify physical traits that will produce high-energy, sustainable biofuels.
- 200 meters (656 feet) long
- The largest robotic field scanner in the world (and possibly the largest gantry robot in the world)
Excited to know that such large robotic systems exist. Thanks for the introductory info. We need more info on such developments.
