News and EventsJuly 1, 2011 The US Army has announced that TRACLabs and Texas A&M University will be awarded a Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) award worth $150,000. The award is to develop an autonomous robot that can assist in the medical treatment and evacuation of injured soldiers from the battlefield. TRACLabs will apply its computer vision, intelligent [...] July 1, 2011 The Navy has announced that TRACLabs and the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) will be receiving a Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) award worth $150,000. The award is to to design and demonstrate a combined EO/LIDAR perception system, LEOPARD (for Lidar and Electro-Optic Perception with Advanced Recalibration Design), that facilitates improved autonomy for [...] April 20, 2011 NASA has recently announced that TRACLabs will be awarded a Phase II STTR entitled “Integration of Notification with 3D Visualization of Rover Operations.” This work will be performed in cooperation with Carnegie Mellon University – Silicon Valley and Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies (SGT). The contract is to develop software for notifying users of 3D visualizations about [...] December 15, 2010 NASA has announced that TRACLabs has been selected to receive two Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts and one Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) contract worth a total of nearly $300,000. The three contracts extend TRACLabs’ research into robotics and automation to assist NASA in their operations. The three awards are: [...] December 4, 2010 The US Army has awarded TRACLabs a Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract to develop a thermal sensing system for robots. The system, called PROWL for Perception for Robotic Operation Without Light, will allow robots to navigate their environment without needing any light. The contract is worth $70,000 with a $50,000 option. Older News » |
Technical BlogsSeptember 12, 2011 Seth Gee, a recent graduate of University of Texas at Austin has joined the TRACLabs team. While at UT, he worked on embedded systems and control for autonomous aerial and ground vehicles before getting his degree in Computer Engineering. He will be working on teleoperation software for NASA and GM’s R2. He is also working on [...] August 29, 2011 NASA is conducting their annual Desert Research and Technology Studies (RATS) program. Desert RATS evaluates technology, human-robotic systems and extravehicular equipment in the high desert near Flagstaff, Ariz. TRACLabs scientists are working side-by-side with NASA researchers to explore time-delayed operation of robotic assets. You can follow the Desert RATS experiments over the next two weeks [...] August 25, 2011 NASA’s Robonaut is undergoing testing on-board the International Space Station. During testing, Robonaut is tweeting: http://twitter.com/#!/AstroRobonaut TRACLabs researchers have worked with NASA on various generations of Robonaut over the past decade and continue to perform joint research with NASA on a variety of robotic technologies. August 23, 2011 TRACLabs is now starting a new Army Phase I STTR along with Robin Murphy from Texas A&M to investigate robotic extraction of wounded soldiers from the battlefield. Our research project focuses less on the mechanical issues, and more on the issues of human-robot interaction (user interaction with the medic that is a safe zone and [...] August 23, 2011 This video shows off a modular arm, that is designed to operate from 1 to 7 degrees of freedom. This video shows the 7 joints (4 rolls and 3 pitch joints) going from sitting on a table to a fully powered and operational arm in under 2 minutes. This uses our Universal Mating Adapter technology, [...] Older Blogs » Blog Tag CloudAFRL
