10 Ground Robots in Development and Testing for Military Applications

U.S. Army develops resilient teaming

​Researchers have developed a way for robot communications to be resilient when dealing with intermittent communications interruptions. Researchers at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM), the Army Research Laboratory, and the Computer Science Department at the University of Nebraska, Omaha, developed the “α-shape” technique. It involves tasks being shared among team members and a bounded area so that Clearpath Robotics Jackal robots could continue operating without having to be in constant communication.
