Markus Nemitz, assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, co-designed and built a landmine-seeking robot featured in the upcoming movie Rule Breakers. The film tells the true story of the Afghan Girls Robotics team, also known as the Afghan Dreamers, who traveled to the United States in 2017 to participate in the international FIRST Global Challenge robotics competition and won a silver medal for Courageous Achievement. Nemitz, who joined Tufts this past fall from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), collaborated with a student to engineer a robot that they envisioned could be created by a highly creative but resource-limited team. Their brainstorming combined low-cost components, including a windshield wiper to operate a metal detector and a grocery-store cart as a battery-holding chassis. The robot, fully remote-controlled, was designed to spray color on the ground to mark detected landmines. Nemitz and WPI student Jeremy Trilling traveled to the film set in Budapest where they operated the robot from behind the scenes. “It was meaningful work I’m very proud of,” said Nemitz. “It’s the first time it’ll be in the credits of a movie, probably the last time too, but it was fantastic experience.” Rule Breakers will be in theatres starting March 7; see the trailer online and find out more on the School of Engineering’s website. Additionally, Nemitz and colleagues from other institutions authored research titled “A framework for soft mechanism driven robots” in Nature Communications. Read more on Tufts Now.
