Can Military Robots Navigate Rough Terrain? The Army Thinks They Should Given the importance of robotics when it comes to uneven terrain and supply delivery in austere combat environments, Army scientists and researchers are developing a tech to provide an “entire sensor suite of data for off-road navigation.” Autonomous robots actually have an easier time navigating uncertain terrain in urban areas, in part due to the many markers, structures, and roadway signs which AI-enabled computers c...

A new quantum sensor can analyze the full spectrum of radio frequency and real-world signals, unleashing new potentials for soldier communications, spectrum awareness and electronic warfare. Army researchers built the quantum sensor, which can sample the radio-frequency spectrum—from zero frequency up to 20 GHz—and detect AM and FM radio, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other communication signals. The Rydberg sensor uses laser beams to create highly-excited Rydberg atoms directly above a microwave ci...

The Army’s New 1000-Mile Cannon Will Match The Navy And Air Forces Ranged Strike Capabilities The U.S. Army still is studying a concept for a gigantic new cannon that could fire shells as far as 1,000 miles. Key point: The Army also is working with the Navy to develop a common hypersonic glide vehicle, which would launch atop a rocket then travel 1,400 miles or farther at a top speed exceeding Mach 5. The U.S. Army still is studying a concept for a gigantic new cannon that could fire shells ...

How molecules sit on surfaces drives energy and electron transfer Florida State University researchers seeking to make newer, more energy efficient materials have made a breakthrough in understanding how structure dictates electron transfer across surfaces.  It all has to do with how the molecules are positioned.  Ken Hanson, associate professor of chemistry, and his colleagues found that the way molecules assemble on an inorganic material plays a key role in how energy and electr...

Kenneth Hanson is an associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry. The study showed that the way molecules are oriented toward each other plays a key role in how electron transfer occurs.

Credit: UMass Amherst Imagine a rubber band that was capable of snapping itself many times over, or a small robot that could jump up a set of stairs propelled by nothing more than its own energy. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have discovered how to make materials that snap and reset themselves, only relying upon energy flow from their environment. The discovery may prove useful for various industries that want to source movement sustainably, from toys to robotics, and i...

Army robots made of robots? New LEGO-like method could make it happen January 30 Army and MIT’s way of linking metamaterials makes building a super mileage vehicles, like this one from collaborators Toyota Automotive Society, possible. Supermileage vehicles aim to get the most mileage out of a single tank of high-octane gasoline. (Kohshi Katoh, Toyota Automotive Society) Army scientists, along with university researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have created a LEGO-l...
