Read Moreintelligent robots for mission support.
Robots and autonomous systems can help carry out military missions more safely and efficiently. For the Royal Netherlands Army, we are investigating how intelligent robots can contribute to this in support of tasks such as logistics and reconnaissance. We are using a simulation and a virtual reality presentation for this purpose.
highlights
- extensive robotics and AI experience
- broad mechatronics, vision and physics expertise
- comprehensive virtual reality animation
simulation of the mission environment.
The Royal Netherlands Army, within the Robots and Autonomous Systems Project, is investigating how robots and autonomous systems can support military personnel. While a great deal of technology is currently available on the market in the field of unmanned vehicles and platforms, it often lacks the intelligence required to enable the systems to genuinely operate autonomously. We are building a simulation to investigate what happens when intelligent robots receive information (from sensors or otherwise) and are given an objective. What choices will they be making, what are the constraints they run into, how do they communicate with peer robots and – for later – how can they work together with humans?
knowledge of the real world.
We apply our broad expertise in mechatronics, robotics, vision and physics to supply knowledge of how a robot moves in the real world. We also have a great deal of experience with artificial intelligence (AI). Integrating our knowledge into a simulation enables us to test the basic functionalities, develop a feeling for the required computational power and make fundamental design choices. How do we organize communication and intelligence among robots? How does a unit consisting of robots, for example, operate? Which design parameters are decisive in actual practice?
we are filling in a missing piece of the puzzle.
The Royal Netherlands Army is very hands on and simply starts working with innovative and readily available technology. One of the missing puzzle pieces is robot intelligence. This is an area which they asked us to work in because we have a great deal of experience with robotics and AI. With a comprehensive virtual reality animation, we have created an experience that shows how an intelligent robot operates.
