Army to Fund Robotics Toolkit Development

From the EE Times:

The proliferation of unmanned vehicle technologies used by the U.S. military has prompted an Army command to fund development of a toolkit that could be used for its entire fleet of unmanned ground vehicles.

The U.S. Army's Transportation Command (Warren, Mich.) will fund a six-month research project to develop a low-cost "robot infrastructure toolkit" that can be used for a wide range of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs).

RE2 Inc., a Carnegie Mellon University spin-off (Pittsburgh), said Tuesday (Jan. 3) it will develop a toolkit focusing on specialized communication components and robotic manipulators with a common control interface

For a while Evo was looking at getting the ERSP selected as a standard robotics toolkit—by someone other than the U.S. Army.

Er, I mean to liberate.

For some tests I was doing I was reloading lemonodor.com again and again, and I was like what the hell there are too many images this is taking too long. So I figured two or three posts without would be OK. Keeps 'em special.
