This snowbot is coming to help plow the Rideau Canal skateway
Professors and graduate students from Carleton University plan to unleash a robot onto the Rideau Canal Skateway later this month so it can remove snow when the ice is too thin and dangerous for humans and heavier equipment to tread on.
The tool is called a snowbot and it's one way researchers are gathering skateway data and to avoid last year's bummer of a non-skating season.
The canal, one of the city's top tourist draws, famously couldn't open to skaters last winter because weather and ice conditions just weren't right.
