Can Military Robots Navigate Rough Terrain? The Army Thinks They Should
Given the importance of robotics when it comes to uneven terrain and supply delivery in austere combat environments, Army scientists and researchers are developing a tech to provide an “entire sensor suite of data for off-road navigation.”
Autonomous robots actually have an easier time navigating uncertain terrain in urban areas, in part due to the many markers, structures, and roadway signs which AI-enabled computers can compile, analyze, and help the unmanned systems respond to.
While there is always more work to be done, much of this progress has been made to the point wherein robotic vehicles or even smaller, maneuverable drones can increasingly navigate their way through a series of urban obstacles without needing consistent human intervention. Thus.. the premise of autonomy.
