Sean Humbert, professor in mechanical engineering and director of the Robotics graduate program, chats with CBS News Colorado about some of the technology him and his students are working on at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½Æƽâ°æÏÂÔØ. One of their builds is a robot that the Boulder County Sheriff's Office uses to support their bomb squad team.
One thousand feet underground, a four-legged creature scavenges through tunnels in pitch darkness. With vision that cuts through the blackness, it explores a spider web of paths, remembering its every step and navigating with precision. The sound of
