The DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals: Results and Perspectives
Eric Krotkov,Douglas Hackett,Larry D. Jackel,Michael Perschbacher,James Pippine,Jesse Strauss,Gill A. Pratt,Christopher Orlowski +7 more
TL;DR: The article details the eight tasks Drive, Egress, Door, Valve, Wall, Surprise [Plug and Switch], Rubble, and Stairs constituting the Challenge, and describes how the competition encouraged supervised autonomous operation by intentionally degrading the communications channel between the remote human operators.
Journal ArticleDOI
How DARPA structures its robotics programs to improve locomotion and navigation
Lawrence D. Jackel,Douglas Hackett,Eric Krotkov,Michael Perschbacher,James Pippine,Charles Sullivan +5 more
TL;DR: Research teams use common robots and machine learning to teach the robots outdoor navigation and locomotion skills, and show how they can be used in the real world.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Learning Locomotion program
TL;DR: In November of 2005, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency initiated a new robotics program, Learning Locomotion, designed to solve some of the key outstanding issues.
