Robots Can Learn by Playing Copycat with Humans

Researchers make it easier to teach artificial intelligence.

In the future, just watching human behavior may be enough for robots to learn to perform some duties. releon8211/Shutterstock

President's Commentary: Robots: Trusted Partners and Battle Buddies

We are seeing robots touch virtually every aspect of life. The integration of engineering design and technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning are opening up a new frontier to a world that was once the domain of humans.

Army Robots Gain Real-World Testbed

An area with a benign name and a malevolent past now will provide vital field evaluations.

A U.S. Army soldier patrols an urban area in this artist’s concept showing aerial and ground unmanned vehicles supporting his mission as a team. The Army Research Laboratory has established a real-world testbed at Graces Quarters, Maryland, in which autonomous vehicles can be put through their paces in woods, fields, marshes and urban areas to explore similar scenarios.

A New Approach to Lunar Robots

The current development of particular robots for NASA represents a methodical shift in how some Lunar or Martian vehicles are designed and how the related components or systems are included to support vehicle operation.

The Sky Is No Limit for NASA Robotics

The space agency seeks new capabilities for exploration and exploitation.

The Lightweight Surface Manipulator System (LSMS), a surface version of TALISMAN, would help offload lunar landers and construct facilities on the Moon. NASA

Teaching a Computer To Read Your Mind

Researchers are using digital game playing between humans and computers as a foundation for training systems to incorporate human intent.

Collaborative 3D digital games are a great platform for developing human-non human teaming capabilities, says Julie Marble, senior scientist at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. JHU APL

Army Integrated Tactical Network Moves Forward

Despite delays, key components face operational tests.

During a webinar sponsored by the Association of the United States Army, Gen. John Murray, USA, commander, Army Futures Command, updated the audience on the service’s modernization efforts.

Army Scientists Tap Partners for Next Stage of Robotics Technologies

ARL researchers turn loose academia, industry to make vehicles truly autonomous.

For the U.S. Army to develop truly autonomous driverless vehicles, it must realize advances being pursued by the Army Research Laboratory. (U.S. Army photo)

A 4D-Printed Face Lifts Additive Manufacturing

The breakthrough could advance shape-shifting antennas, robots and easy chairs.

Researchers generated a 3D surface using an artificial intelligence algorithm. The ribs in the different layers of the lattice are programmed to grow and shrink in response to a change in temperature, mapping the facial features of mathematician and scientist Carl Friedrich Gauss. Illustration combines an image by Lori Sanders/Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Science with a portrait of Carl Friedrich Gauss painted by Christian Albrecht Jensen in 1840.

Army Cancels Robotic Vehicle Acquisition Phase

Service leaders say they will restart the program with new requirements.

The Mission Enabling Technologies Demonstrator manned vehicle can operate two unmanned platforms to make contact with the enemy before soldiers do, while achieving overmatch against future operating environment threats. The Army’s vision includes three robotic vehicle variants—light, medium and large, but service officials have decided for now to cancel the acquisition of a medium variant.
