Testbed for sensory control of intelligent machines

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5670255

The Intelligent Machine Systems Division of Sandia National Laboratories is engaged in the development of the sensory control of robots to perform human-like tasks in hostile environments, such as the remote maintenance of a nuclear reactor. Such a robot should be able to operate in a relatively unstructured environment. It should be able to monitor the progress of a task, verifying that things are proceeding as planned. If they are not, the robot should be able to detect this and take corrective action. In collaboration with the University of New Mexico, the laboratory has constructed a sensor-driven robot testbed for exploring these issues.
