The major area of this proposal is distributed robotics, meaning networks of mobile robots that cooperate to perform a task. The best-known example is perhaps robot soccer, where teams of mobile robots play against each other. A more practical example is a convoy of military vehicles transporting material through hostile territory to the front line; the vehicles are unmanned and are driven by on-board computer/camera control systems. And a third example is a team of robot rovers equipped with isotropic antennas that are required collectively to form a single antenna with a focussed beam. The proposal also contains a minor area: multivariable control design for power electronics.

该提案的主要领域是分布式机器人技术，即合作执行任务的移动的机器人网络。最著名的例子也许是机器人足球，在那里移动的机器人队互相比赛。一个更实际的例子是，一个军用车队通过敌方领土向前线运送物资;这些车辆是无人驾驶的，由车载计算机/摄像机控制系统驾驶。第三个例子是一组机器人漫游车，配备了各向同性天线，需要共同形成一个具有聚焦波束的单一天线。该提案还包括一个小领域：电力电子多变量控制设计。
