Multi-purpose Autonomous Teaming Control of Heterogeneous (MATCH) Robots

摘要

The Multi-purpose Autonomous Teaming Control of Heterogeneous Robots (MATCH) program is one of the Department of Defense's (DoD) Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Unit's (SADBU) Mentor Protege Programs (MPP) for the Joint Ground Robotics Enterprise (JGRE). The project is overseen by the Air Force Research Laboratories (AFRL) robotics research division. This MPP agreement has Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Laboratories (LM ATL) mentoring AnthroTronix, Inc., an up-and-coming human factors research and development company with over eight years experience in the DoD marketplace. The team has just begun its second year of a three year MPP agreement. Focused on unmanned system control technologies for force protection tasks, the goal of MATCH is to allow a single operator to oversee and direct the mission of different robotic assets conducting diverse force protection missions while increasing the operator's situation awareness.
