A group of inventors operating out of a small workshop in regional Victoria are creating surveillance technology that will help the military by replacing dangerous patrol duties.
For Michael Saulle, lead fabricator and designer, being part of the GUS surveillance invention project has been part of something bigger."I want to show my son that it is possible to achieve something that's going to be left behind to help others," he said.
Mr Saulle and Mr Townsend grew up in Yinnar together and were always "playing around with crazy ideas over the years"."I've been roped into Luke's crazy schemes since about grade two. It was about 2005 that we started tinkering with the idea of the first GUS and it's grown from there." "We walk out onto the main street, see everybody every day, and sometimes have to keep the door shut to get any work done," Mr Saulle said.
"Since childhood I was always interested in new innovations. I have been building robots since I was 10 years old so this doesn't feel like work to me," Dr Hewawasam said.
