R&D 100 winner of the day: MURMUR (Motion Under Rubble Measured Using Radar)

By Heather Hall | May 13, 2022

Motion Under Rubble Measured Using Radar (MURMUR), from MIT Lincoln Laboratory, is a lightweight, portable life-detection radar designed for humanitarian aid and disaster relief (HADR) that rapidly detects, ranges and characterizes survivors in the complex HADR conditions of rubble and degraded infrastructure. Unlike many of its competitors, MURMUR makes detections in real time and operates at a larger standoff distance.

MURMUR can see through a wide range of materials, which is key for being able to respond to multiple types of disasters. It can operate up to 10 meters away from the nearest obstacle it is trying to see through and detect multiple humans up to 30 meters away, enabling it to perform in the varied and unpredictable environments that disasters provide. With lives at stake, time is of the essence. MURMUR can deliver data to operators wirelessly and in real time, providing rescue teams with the situational awareness they need to do what they do best.

    Dear R&D World team,

    Thank you so much for the feature! I am on the MURMUR team and don’t recognize the image. The image file name is PARROT-1-768×494.jpg so it might be for the PARROT project.

      I’ve put the correct image in, accidentally grabbed the wrong one. Thank you for the heads up. – Heather Hall, Associate Editor
