    FIRST: A proven pipeline for future ERDC development

    More than two decades ago, a robotics team was founded for the students at Warren Central High School. ERDC has been involved since the year 2000 by hosting the team and promoting hands-on learning for local students. Today, with a mission to provide educational experiences for more young people, Team 456 Siege Robotics is a community FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team that is made up of 20 students from across central Mississippi.

    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.
