Imagine a future cyborg-human patrol off in some distant spot where communications may be dicey, conditions dangerous and the mission key, say, crossing an enemy mine field in a clear, then attack situation. How best to be sure that the robots perform as they are supposed to, that their programming lets them respond not only to direct command and control by people on scene but also through their own, internal decision-making processes? Working with a $7.5 million, five-year Office of Naval Research award, Trojan researchers across several departments hope to develop the high math and other means by which multiple machines, robots, electronic sensors and people could work together in a network to respond to threats and intrusions by outsiders.
How to get machines, sensors, robots, humans into effective teams or networks?
