A Shared Intelligence Framework Targeting Flexible Human Agent Cooperative Tasks
SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc. Topic: SB062008High quality decisions in military and commercial operations often require the combined intelligence of multiple agents, whose knowledge, expertise, and capabilities are complementary. Cooperative decision making and problem solving is hard for people who have different languages, priorities, and incentives, and is even more difficult with the participation of non-human agents with inscrutable be ...

Step Frequency Ground Penetrating Radar for Location and Evaluation of In-Roadway Sensors
SBC: STARODUB INC Topic: 06FH2A nondestructive evaluation method is proposed for imaging in-roadway sensors, anticipated to allow them to be located and evaluated in-situ. The techniques uses innovative step frequency GPR hardware together with new data collection and data processing methods to provide high-resolution images of in-roadway sensor features. Recent work by the proposed research team has already demonstrated im ...

A Mixed Initiative Approach to Human-Robot Interaction for Through-the-Door Operation
SBC: Intelligent Automation, Inc. Topic: SB062009We propose an innovative, distributed multi-agent based mixed-initiative planning approach to facilitate true partnership among humans and robots useful in many tactical application environments including “through-the-door” and NIST’s search and rescue scenario. We leverage our distributed control framework (DCF) along with indoor positioning system like Cricket and OpenCV based vision for s ...

EATR: Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot
SBC: ROBOTIC TECHNOLOGY, INC. Topic: N/AThe purpose of the proposed project is to develop and demonstrate an autonomous robotic platform able to perform long-range, long-endurance missions. The system, known as the Energetically Autonomous Tactical Robot (EATR) T, obtains its energy by foraging - engaging in biologically-inspired, organism-like, energy-harvesting behavior which is the equivalent of eating. It can find, ingest, and ext ...

Fundamental Interactions Generating Heterogeneous Teams including Robots (FIGHT-R)
SBC: CHI SYSTEMS INC Topic: SB062009Fully autonomous, taskable robots for use in unconstrained environments are still a dream rather than a reality because of a host of problems, including capabilities of existing sensors, effectors, and control/planning software. Indeed, concepts of operations for robot use are tending toward robots collaborating directly with humans, in relationships similar to bomb squad dogs. Fortunately, enough ...

Silicon-Based Infrared Imaging Sensor
SBC: IRIMSENS, LLC Topic: SB062015Development of new short-wave infrared imaging sensors with signal processing electronics on the same substrate is critical for a number of military and commercial applications. The objective of this research is to develop a new generation of Ge-on-Si p-n heterojunction photodiodes that will culminate in a demonstration of a 64 x 64-pixel infrared imaging array. These photodiodes, whose feas ...

Compact Laser Shearography System for Crack Detection
SBC: Laser Technology Inc. Topic: 05FH1Laser Technology Inc. (LTI) proposes a Phase II SBIR research project to further develop a Compact Shearography System, Analysis Method and Software for micro-crack detection in concrete. There is an urgent need to detect and characterize fine cracks in concrete that form because of various damage mechanisms including alkali-silicate reaction, delayed ettringite formation or frost damage. Fine s ...

Low Cost Transverse Rail Defect Detector
SBC: Mide Technology Corporation Topic: 02FR1Development of the basic EMAT based transverse rail defect detector has progressed toward finished form, as envisioned in the original solicitation. This modification is intended to produce a demonstratable version of a 2-rail detection system with automated signal interpertation. The objectives of this work are to: a. Further develop the system into a functioning 2-rail detection system, as ori ...

Automated High Speed, Low Water Consumption Insulator Cleaner
SBC: MINI, LLC Topic: 07FT4A novel third rail insulator cleaner and novel cleaning tool - the Spin Wedge, will be developed. The novel cleaner is a skate that rides directly on the third rail and is attached to a service vehicle. Four Spin Wedges, attached to the skate, direct a very rapid series of high pressure water jets arcs, like hammer blows, only on the surface to be cleaned. As the skate moves forward at high spe ...

Balancing Safety and Capacity in an Adaptive Traffic Signal Control System
SBC: Sabra & Associates, Inc. Topic: N/AThis research is designed to develop a methodology that will identify unsafe traffic conditions such as rear-end, angle and left-turn crashes at individual signalized intersections, and in arterial and grid signalized networks. This research project will have a final product in the form of an algorithms, that would be developed to alleviate such safety risks by adjusting controller timing and ope ...
