Description
Summary:The establishment of a science and technology base for many aspects of defense manufacturing and for adapting intelligent systems for complex military operational tasks is a cornerstone effort to advanced research with great national significance. This presentation provides an overview of the efforts of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Air Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratories (AFWAL) to plan and fund technology development for a substantial leap in Intelligent Task Automation (ITA). In addressing the needs for high productivity in manufacturing and robust applications to complex military tasks, the ITA program develops and integrates the generic technologies impacting, gripping, sensing, viewing, recognizing and understanding the environment, controlling manipulation, and intelligently providing command of the task.
