Abstract:

This study is the result of a year long effort to assess how to meet the Armys requirements for off-road agility over the next several decades. The resulting recommendations are in the areas of control, sensing and perception, and energy. These recommendations include a wide range of topics, including information-based control, collaborative active sensing, dedicated computing elements designed for perception and control, model-based control in model-free and data-driven settings, and energy harvesting.
