Military Considers the Human Factor in Independent Robots
Researchers are conducting cutting-edge investigations in the area of unmanned systems. The efforts aim to change how humans operate the vehicles by reducing the number of personnel hours and dedicated resources necessary to execute the systems. The projects also could both improve how systems interact with one another and increase their autonomy.
Center Builds Robots With More Bang for the Buck
As the demand for robotics expands in both the commercial and public sectors, developers at a university institute are working to move relevant technology into the marketplace rapidly. Engineers are creating smarter systems that are more autonomous and that have applications ranging from agriculture to combat. Current programs are spawning new ideas, and program officials are seeking to demonstrate technology to funding authorities quickly to determine the best path forward early in the development cycle.
Perception Guides the Future of Automatons
The key to attaining the long-sought goal of fully autonomous unmanned ground vehicles may lie in their ability to recognize reality. Scientists pursuing the development of truly independent robotic vehicles are finding that perception is the key hurdle they must overcome. The development of these vehicles hinges on solving problems relating to perception and its data processing.
Racing Toward Robotics
After months of preparation, autonomous vehicles hit the road in the California desert to elevate the art of robotics and explore new capabilities for the military. Teams of robotics experts from across the United States brought their unmanned vehicles to Barstow, California, to compete in the U.S. Defense Department's first $1 million Grand Challenge. Although no entry crossed the finish line, the real winner is likely to be the warfighter. Military experts will sift through thousands of lessons learned and move forward on bringing autonomous vehicles to the battlefield.
Lobsters Populate Navy Robot Platter
Biologists and engineers are melding their expertise to develop robots that look more like a high-priced dinner than a high-explosive detonator. Taking their cue from nature, scientists are designing a sensor-toting techno-crustacean that can operate in sandy, rocky, undulating environments. For military troops, these devices could alleviate the hazard of underwater mines during beach landings and littoral zone operations.
DARPA Conducts Squad X Experimentation Exercise
DARPA's Squad X Experimentation program aims to demonstrate a warfighting force with artificial intelligence as a true partner.
Army Strengthens Future Tech with Muscle-Bound Robots
Robotic systems packed with muscle tissue can produce never-seen-before agility and versatility, Army researchers said.
Robot Gymnastics
The Internet is flipping out over this new robot video from Boston Dynamics.
DARPA Subterranean Challenge
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) offers a preview of the Subterranean Challenge (SubT) competition course for the tunnel circuit being held August 15-22.
Project Convergence: A Campaign of Learning
Project Convergence is a U.S. Army campaign of learning to aggressively pursue a battlefield management system enabled by artificial intelligence and machine learning.
