Robots Need Tactics, Too

Technology is just the first step for effective swarming.

Northrop Grumman’s team is launching an open architecture testbed and seeking participants to create and test their own swarm-based tacking on the platform as part of DARPA’s OFFensive Swarm-Enabled Tactics program.

Army Pursuing Weaponized Robotics

Groundbreaking ‘Wingman' program harnesses autonomous vehicles and target identification systems.

As part of the ‘ Wingman’ program, the U.S. Army is developing the Autonomous Remote Engagement System, which is mounted on the Picatinny Lightweight Remote Weapon System and coupled with an M240B machine gun. The system will employ both vision-based automatic target detection and user-specified target selection to reduce the time needed for target identification. Photo Credit: U.S. Army photo.

A New Law of Robotics

Cybersecurity should share the same priority as other laws of robotics.

U.S. Army Research Laboratory scientists have demonstrated they can 3-D print drones tailored for specific missions. As unmanned systems proliferate on the battlefield, the military may need to consider a new law of robotics regarding cybersecurity. U.S. Army photo by Angie DePuydt

Scientists Pick AI for Lab Partner

Robotic research systems may foster a boom in scientific knowledge.

Benji Maruyama, a senior materials research engineer at the Air Force Research Laboratory’s (AFRL’s) Functional Materials Division, stands by the AFRL’s Autonomous Research System (ARES), which uses artificial intelligence to design, execute and analyze experiments at a pace much faster than traditional scientific research methods.

The Rise of the Robot Force

Industry adapts UGVs, now considered necessities, for the military and law enforcement.

Roboteam’s Zachary Lucas maneuvers the PROBOT Military Robot, a lightweight, all-terrain carrier and reconnaissance robot that hauls three times its own weight and allows hands-free operation. The adaptable plug-and-play platform can conform to troops’ missions to carry explosives, equipment, weapons and even troops themselves.

President's Commentary: Humans Are Holding Back Unmanned Systems

The potential for unmanned devices, which seems unlimited, is being hindered by the human element they support. Planners must abandon convention and explore disruptive approaches.

Robots Ride Brain Waves of Innovation
