Roger: a robot for risky tasks
Minerva Humanoids has developed an autonomous humanoid robot named "Roger" over five months, aimed at remotely handling explosives and high-risk energy tasks to protect human workers from danger. The system combines advanced human control with software that balances and restores the robot's posture after falls. The operator wears a virtual reality headset for full control of movements, including delicate tasks requiring hand use. An initial $10 million funding round led by General Catalyst has been secured to support the development of the robot technology, with plans for field testing in bomb disposal and high-risk site incidents. The project is backed by international partnerships and previous field trials at airports and NATO facilities.
