CISE Research Instrumentation: Real-Time Planning and Control for Cooperative Manipulators in the Virginia Tech AI/Robotics Laboratory

该合同将购买高速工作站、高分辨率摄像机、数字化设备和执行器控制设备，以增强现有的一对工业质量的机器人手臂。该设备将支持实时碰撞避免、立体距离估计和协同操作的集成、在真实环境中进行实时控制的规划以及规划和仿真等研究项目。弗吉尼亚理工学院将购买设备，以支持机器人操作任务实时控制领域的几个研究项目。研究将集中在人工智能技术、机器视觉、高效世界模型以及鲁棒计划和控制的分层设计的协同使用上。

This award is to purchase high-speed workstations, high- resolution cameras, digitizers, and actuator-control equipment to enhance an existing pair of industrial-quality robot arms. The equipment will support research projects in real-time collision avoidance, integration of stereo range estimation and cooperative manipulation, planning for real- time control in real environments, and planning and simulation. Virginia Polytechnic Institute will purchase equipment to support several research projects in the area of real-time control of robotic manipulation tasks. The research will center on the cooperative use of artificial intelligence techniques, machine vision, efficient world models, and hierarchical design for robust planning and control.
