Reconfigurable Structures
Abstract
In the Reconfigurable Structures thrust, new combinations of advanced materials, devices, and structural architectures are being developed to allow military platforms to move, morph, or change shape for optimal adaptation to changing mission requirements and unpredictable environments. This includes the demonstration of new materials and devices that will enable the military to function more effectively in the urban theater of operations. In addition, this thrust will develop a principled, scientific basis for improved robotic mobility, manipulation, and supervised autonomy, and leverage these results to develop and demonstrate innovative robot design tools, fabrication methods, and control methodologies. One specific objective of this thrust is to create the scientific basis for understanding, modeling, developing, testing and evaluating autonomous systems with one or more human supervisors, and one or more remote physical agents.
