GPR Robot - Dartmouth College, Thayer School of Engineering

In 2008 students and faculty from the Thayer School and researchers with the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research & Engineering Laboratory designed and fabricated Yeti, an autonomous robot for Ground Penetrating Radar surveys in Antarctica. The design and fabrication was funded by NASA JPL. With support from the National Science Foundation, Yeti has been deployed to Greenland and Antarctica. Yetis sister, the solar-powered Cool Robot, has a blog at coolrobotgreenland2013.blogspot.com

Did you forgot to add in one. why not ?
