This topic is supported under National Robotics Initiatives (NRI). OBJECTIVE: Develop and use biometrics that provides feedback about the status of human-machine team in autonomous systems. DESCRIPTION: Intense workload and short deadlines place a great deal of stress on warfighters applying computer systems to complete their mission. Biometric techniques show promise for detecting variatio ...

This topic is supported under National Robotics Initiatives (NRI). OBJECTIVE: Develop methodology to evaluate and measure the performance and progress for learning enabled systems. DESCRIPTION: A long term goal of machine learning is to develop systems that learn complex behaviors with minimal human oversight. However, future systems that incorporate learning strategies will not necessarily ...

This topic is supported under National Robotics Initiatives (NRI). OBJECTIVE: Develop methodology to evaluate mixed human/robot team performance DESCRIPTION: Introducing robotic assets to a military or civilian unit should increase the level of performance for the team. We evaluate human teams by scoring their performance on specific tasks; they can be a single score for the team, or an aggr ...

This topic is supported under National Robotics Initiatives (NRI). OBJECTIVE: The Army is interested in adding autonomy to its vehicle convoys [1], but how can we certify that these autonomous algorithms are safe? Currently, live testing of full vehicle systems is the only acceptable method, but even after hundreds of hours of successful live testing, a single hidden failure point in the algor ...

This topic is supported under National Robotics Initiatives (NRI). OBJECTIVE: Develop a system to identify, classify, and analyze visual data from unmanned ground vehicles and stationary visual surveillance sources to enable real-time on-board decisions and system-wide planning regarding route, speed, and tasks. DESCRIPTION: Distributed visual surveillance has a major role in the future of ...

OBJECTIVE: To develop innovative methods for mutating or obfuscating the processes of network security appliances or tactical communication systems. To make the path of the processes and data through hardware non deterministic, thereby thwarting any supply chain attacks that rely on the deterministic nature of computing to exfiltrate data and compromise operations. To mask the data and processes s ...

OBJECTIVE: Develop technologies and tools for detecting potential malicious/backdoor logics in hardware IP-core, toward reducing supply-chain vulnerability in embedded computing and system on chip environment. DESCRIPTION: This topic solicits the development of technologies and tools which perform analysis on gate-level netlist of hardware IP-core to identify potentially malicious wires and log ...

OBJECTIVE: Develop and demonstrate gear coatings in order to increase the endurance of helicopter transmissions operating after loss of primary oil flow. The objective is to develop low cost, low friction, highly reliable coating that is capable of allowing a transmission to run for 45 minutes in a loss of lubrication condition. DESCRIPTION: Under normal rotorcraft operations, flowing lubrican ...
