Overview of the UGV / Demo II Program
نویسندگان
چکیده
The UGV / Demo II program, begun in 1992, developed and matured those navigation and automatic target recognition technologies critical for the development of supervised, autonomous ground vehicles capable of performing military scout missions with a minimum of human oversight. The program culminated with a highly successful series of field exercises performed by soldiers at Ft. Hood, Texas over three weeks in May/June 1996. This paper provides an introduction to the UGV / Demo II program.

I he military has an anticipated need for a remotely controlled ground T system to perform reconnaissance; surveillance; target acquisition; patrolling; and nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) detection. In particular, the U.S. Army Infantry School would like the system to operate in the most dangerous areas of the modem battlefield, open terrain that is highly trafficable. This has led to ...

New reactive behaviors that implement formations in multi-robot teams are presented and evaluated. These motor schemas, or primitive behaviors, for relative positional maintenance are integrated with existing navigational behaviors to help robots complete nav-igational tasks while in formation. Four formations, based on existing military doctrine (Army 1986), and three methods for determining c...
