DARPA is offering this grant to advance ground robotic capabilities, enabling complex task execution in dangerous, degraded, human-engineered environments. This grant is for developing robots that can utilize human tools, from hand tools to vehicles. The program aims to significantly advance key robotic technologies: supervised autonomy, mounted/dismounted mobility, dexterity, strength, and platform endurance. Supervised autonomy will be developed for non-expert operators, lowering workload and ensuring effective operation despite low-fidelity communications. This initiative seeks to enhance robotic efficiency and safety in challenging conditions.

| Description: | The primary goal of the DARPA Robotics Challenge program is to develop ground robotic capabilities to execute complex tasks in dangerous, degraded, human-engineered environments. The program will focus on robots that can utilize available human tools, ranging from hand tools to vehicles. The program aims to advance the key robotic technologies of supervised autonomy, mounted mobility, dismounted mobility, dexterity, strength, and platform endurance. Supervised autonomy will be developed to allow robot control by non-expert operators, to lower operator workload, and to allow effective operation despite low fidelity (low bandwidth, high latency, intermittent) communications.
