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 and air mobility, intelligent vehicle control and behaviors, human-robot interaction, robotic manipulation, and improved mobility for unmanned vehicles of scales from micro-systems through tactical combat vehicles. The Project provides the underpinning research of 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. The Robotics CTA research is funded in PE0601104A (University and Industry Research Centers) / Project H09 (Robotics CTA). This Project leverages basic research conducted under PE 0601102A (Defense Research Sciences) / Project T63 (Robotics Autonomy, Manipulation and Portability Rsh) and PE 0601104A (University and Industry Research Centers / Project H09 (Robotics CTA) and transitions knowledge and emerging technologies to PE 0603005A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Advanced Technology) for maturation and demonstration. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering focus areas, and the Army Modernization Strategy. The Ground Portfolio technology investments are improving logistics throughput and surge capability supporting maneuver forces (Leader-Follower technology) and allow experimentation with manned and unmanned teams to develop the advantages that inform/protect the maneuver force. FY 2020 realignments are due to financial restructuring in support of Army Modernization Priorities.
