Carbonics will partner with Georgia Tech to innovate and develop DC/RF device models and RF integrated circuit CMOS prototypes for operation at deep cryogenic temperatures with superior performance with low power consumption and enhanced noise performance. Our approach will adopt state-of-the-art semiconductor technology that includes bulk CMOS, CMOS SOI, and FinFET. Our plan is to commercializ ...

The Objective of this STTR project is to develop the Autonomous Vehicle Simulation Platform (AVSP). AVSP will virtually test how teams of autonomous interconnected wheeled and tracked ground vehicles operating on various kinds of deformable terrains interact with each other and their environment. AVSP will simulate the input from various sensors carried by the vehicles including cameras, Lidar, ra ...

While robotic systems have advanced in recent years, they are still dramatically outperformed by their biological counterparts. Robots are largely limited by the use of decades-old actuation paradigms such as electromagnetic motors which are bulky, rigid, and expensive, thus limiting the complexity and degrees of freedom of such systems and making close interactions with humans unsafe (such as in ...

The explosion of new wearable medical monitoring devices, miniaturized sensors, and artificial intelligence is providing new opportunities to optimize human performance and mitigate the effects of stressors that degrade performance and health within operational settings, particularly for professional athletes. Similar techniques can be used to make tomorrow’s warfighter faster, smarter, and stro ...

Most AI accelerator hardware, such as GPU and TPU, are focused on increasing the throughput and efficiency for training and inference algorithms by massively parallelizing the computation across distinct computing unit and processors. Massive parallelization has to be powered by the continuous shrink of transistor nodes. Unfortunately, an increasing number of barriers are inhibiting the scaling of ...

We are proposing a method to estimate 3D road surface dimensions by applying photogrammetric reconstruction techniques to images of a simulated road surface acquired using two, color line scan cameras.  Estimated 3D dimensions of road surfaces will be compared to laser profilometer measurements to confirm their accuracy and resolution. Data analytics will provide dimensional data sufficient for d ...

Using waste streams generated on Distributed Operations bases to produce energy and water will reduce the resupply burden and increase resilience. The feasibility of using a system which integrates hydrodynamic cavitation based pretreatment, anaerobic digestion, and a microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) to convert black water and food wastes into methane-enriched biogas suitable for power and non-po ...

The U.S. Army GVSC continues utilizing Controller Area Network (CAN Bus) communication standards for embedded systems in the Army's manned, unmanned, electric, and autonomous vehicles (EVs, UGVs, UAVs). The existing CAN Bus security solutions require the hardware add-on and a centralized security measure, creating a single point of failure. InfoBeyond advocates VehChain: Blockchain Cryptography De ...

The modernization of live training requires accurate dismounted soldier trainee position/tracking to enable the convergence of Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) training environments. The position jitter or the random position changes make the training unreliable under the condition of GPS satellite signal attenuation or blockage. In this project, a novel artificial neural network based pedest ...

COVID-19, a novel coronavirus disease, induces a hyperimmune response (cytokine storm) upon infection that often leads to hyperinflammation and immunosuppression. During the immunosuppression, the body is susceptible to other infections, which potentially increase mortality rates. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the military’s cumulative hospitalization rate (2%) is 50 ...
