ROBOTICS TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
The objective of this project is to investigate autonomous mobility technology that will enable near autonomous unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). Technical efforts are focused on advancing perception for autonomous ground mobility, intelligent vehicle control and behaviors, human-robot interaction, robotic manipulation, and unique mobility for unmanned vehicles. The project also evaluates the basis for the Robotics Collaborative Technology Alliance (CTA), a tri-Service research consortium joining researchers from the Department of Defense (DoD), other Government agencies, industry and academia in a concerted, collaborative effort to advance key enabling robotic technologies. The applied research conducted in this program will be transitioned to technology development, demonstration, and materiel acquisition programs being conducted by the Office of the Secretary of Defense Joint Ground Robotics Enterprise and each of the Services. Research supports collaborative efforts with Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Robotics Technology was previously funded in PE 0602618A, project H03 and was transferred to PE 0602120, project TS2 starting in FY10 to more accurately align the research. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this project is performed by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) at the Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.
