Subterranean exploration robot Gopher joins Noah's Ark search in Türkiye

Tech Xplore Robotics

Gopher, a subterranean exploration robot designed by Australia's La Trobe University, has been sent to eastern Türkiye to join an international team searching for Noah's Ark at the Durupınar geological formation. Equipped with front and rear waterproof wide-angle cameras and environmental sensors, the robot can be remotely lowered to 25 meters below the surface to collect data from places humans cannot reach. It is a scaled-down version of the 2021 WomBot and was shipped at the end of July.
