WomBot: an exploratory robot for monitoring wombat burrows

Abstract In this study we evaluate the design and efficacy of Wombot, an exploratory robot used to environmental conditions within wombat burrows. Our purpose-built traverses through difficult terrain present in burrows whilst facilitating placement retrieval data loggers. preliminary results suggest that would result a long mite survival time which shows significant risk for spreading infestations throughout population.
