    A robotic system known as the Dambot operates near closure gates at Blue Mountain Dam, Arkansas in October 2020. Dambot takes the human element out of a dangerous but necessary U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) maintenance task. The cutting-edge technology has been successfully tested and stands poised to change the course of closure gate assessments, while also safeguarding USACE team members.

    Dambot takes the lead on dangerous assessments

    A U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center team is designing robotic systems to keep humans out of harm’s way. Sounding more like the plot of an action movie than a research and development project, a robotic system known as Dambot takes the human element out of a dangerous but necessary U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) maintenance task. The cutting-edge technology has already been successfully tested and stands poised to change the course of closure gate assessments, while also safeguarding USACE team members.

    COCHITI LAKE, N.M. - Dave Derrick, instructor, (right) and a workshop participant tie bundles of newly cut plantings in preparation for transport to a different location at Cochiti Lake during the hands-on riparian construction workshop held February 26-27. Cochiti Lake was selected for the location for the workshop because of the opportunities available to rehabilitate the shoreline with native species. This rehabilitation will provide habitat for a wide range of riparian-dependent fauna and improve water quality.
