K-State Building Robots for Dangerous Jobs

A Kansas
State University new release describes their project to develop
robots for extremely dangerous jobs such as searching buildings for
weapons of mass destruction or improvised explosive devices. The
university has received a $219,140 defense department grant to develop a
"Test-bed
for intelligent, mobile sensors". The researchers are planning a
cooperative team of robots that will exhibit organizational reasoning.
Working together the robots should be able to adapt to their environment
and solve problems. The teams will inclcude both ground and air robots.
This work will be done at K-State's Multiagent & Cooperative Robotics Lab.
