Identification of Specifications for a Mobile Platform with Material Handling Capabilities

该奖项为一个研讨会提供了部分支持， 大学、工业和联邦政府研究人员将 确定和评估自动化移动的研究需求 具有材料处理能力的机器人平台。 DARPA正在 分担讲习班的经费，预计讲习班将 为一套通用规范提出建议， 这种移动的平台的特征 研究车辆导航，非接触式传感器， 视觉系统，接触位置和力传感，处理 用于指导运动和操纵的感觉信息， 多个机械手和多个传感器，以及多模态 系统集成。

This award provides partial support for a workshop in which university, industry, and Federal government researchers will identify and assess the research needs for automated mobile robotic platforms with material handling capabilities. DARPA is sharing in the funding of the workshop, which is expected to produce recommendations for a common set of specifications and features for such mobile platforms suitable for a variety of research in vehicle navigation, noncontact sensors such as vision systems, contact position and force sensing, processing of sensory information for guiding mobility and manipulation of multiple manipulators and multiple sensors, and multi-modal systems integration.
