It allows robots to remain resilient when faced with intermittent communication losses on the battlefield. Apr 30th, 2021 Jenna Brady Army researchers develop a technique that allows robots to remain resilient when faced with intermittent communication losses on the battlefield. Experimental results were reported on simulated robots within multiple environments and physical Clearpath Jackal Robots. U.S. Army ADELPHI, Md. -- Army researchers developed a technique that allows robots to remain res...

US Army seeks Micro-UAS CRADA extension with Bell 30 April 2021 by Pat Host The US Army’s corporate research laboratory wants to continue its collaborative efforts with Bell that lead to the development of the company’s Micro-UAS (Unmanned Aerial System), according to John Hrynuk, US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Army Research Laboratory (ARL) mechanical engineer. The service official told Janes on 29 April that ongoing collaboration with Bell through the 2018 Coope...

Published 30 April 2021 Army researchers developed a deepfake detection method that will allow for the creation of state-of-the-art soldier technology to support mission-essential tasks such as adversarial threat detection and recognition. This work specifically focuses on a lightweight, low training complexity and high-performance face biometrics technique that meets the size, weight and power requirements of devices soldiers will need in combat. Army researchers developed a deepfake detectio...

Army Scientists Want to Teach Exoskeleton Gear How to Improve Soldier Performance U.S. Army Sgt. Maj. Luke Blum, who serves as the senior enlisted leader for Army Research Laboratory, walks with ExoBoot technology as part of a study that analyzes how humans and autonomous systems adapt to each other. (U.S. Army) 27 Apr 2021 U.S. Army researchers are studying how to help intelligent exoskeleton technology adapt to human behavior to improve soldier performance on the future battlefield. The servi...

Future U.S. Army Robots will Work even after Communication Losses Our Bureau 356 The U.S. Army researchers developed a technique that allows robots to remain resilient when faced with intermittent communication losses on the battlefield. The technique, called α-shape, provides an efficient method for resolving goal conflicts between multiple robots that may want to visit the same area during missions including unmanned search and rescue, robotic reconnaissance, perimeter surveillance and rob...
