ROBOTICS TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
This project designs, evaluates, and investigates autonomous technologies to enable robotics to assist military missions. Technical efforts are focused on advancing perception for autonomous ground mobility, intelligent vehicle control and behaviors, human-robot interaction, robotic manipulation, and improved mobility for unmanned vehicles of scales from micro-systems through tactical vehicles. The project provides the basis for the Robotics Collaborative Technology Alliance (CTA), a cooperative arrangement with industry and academia to conduct a concerted, collaborative effort advancing key enabling robotic technologies required for future unmanned systems. This project sustains Army science and technology efforts supporting the Ground portfolio. This project leverages basic research conducted under PE 0601102A, project T63 and PE 0601104A, project H09 and transitions knowledge and emerging technologies to PE 0603005A (Combat Vehicle Advanced Technology) for maturation and demonstration. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for 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, and the Robotics Collaborative Technology Alliance consisting of: Boston Dynamics, Carnegie Mellon University, Florida A&M University, General Dynamics Robotics Systems, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, QinetiQ North America, University of Central Florida, and University of Pennsylvania.
