Pioneering The Way Forward
The Challenge:
The DARPA Subterranean or “SubT” Challenge seeks novel approaches to rapidly map, navigate, and search underground environments during time-sensitive combat operations or disaster response scenarios.
Core Technologies:
Reconfigurable Multi-Modal Platforms
Rapid reconfiguration to assemble heterogeneous agents
Robust, Coordinated and Efficient Exploration
Redundancy in algorithms and communication options
Multi-Modal Sensing and SLAM
LiDAR, 3D & imaging cameras, dropped ranging-radio anchors
Semantic Mapping
Detect objects of interest
Robust Communication
Mesh network, communications planning
Mission:
To seamlessly provide any decision maker with the information necessary to make coordinated, time-critical decisions in uncertain underground environments
Applications:
Rapidly gain situational awareness
Search and rescue
Remote scouting
Forensics/data analysis
