US DoD Military Robotics Leaders to give exclusive briefings at Military Robotics and Autonomous Systems USA 2020
SMi Reports: Lieutenant Colonel Jon Bodenhamer, US Army is set to brief on Product Manager Applique and Large Unmanned Ground Systems at the conference in Arlington, this June
The US Army selected four robot vehicles to proceed to the Squad-Multipurpose Equipment Transport (SMET) program's operational evaluation phase with the 10th Mountain Division. SMET's requirements for each vehicle include carrying up to 1,000 pounds, travelling 60 miles over 72 hours, having a power generation system, supporting an ever-expanding array of electronics, having control using handheld remote controls, and featuring a follow-me" functionality. *
With this in mind, the Military Robotics and Autonomous Systems USA Conference, taking place on June 22nd-23rd 2020 in Arlington, will feature a presentation from Lieutenant Colonel Jon Bodenhamer, Product Manager Applique' and Large Unmanned Ground Systems, PEO CS&CSS, US Army.
His briefing on ‘Product Manager Applique and Large Unmanned Ground Systems', will cover:
• Using Rapid Acquisition for development, production, and fielding of the Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport (SMET)
• Autonomous systems for Area and Route Clearance
• Tactical employment of Leader Follower technology for combat Logistics
• Looking ahead to future large UGV acquisition
The event brochure featuring the full program and agenda can be downloaded online at http://www.roboticsautonomous-usa.com/roboticstomorrowpr3
Delegates at the inaugural conference will have the opportunity to hear updates on leading US RAS programs, including: Robotic Combat Vehicle, Expeditionary Modular Autonomous Vehicle and the Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport, as well as programmes from key international allies.
The other key focuses this year include: autonomy for military systems, both for lethal and non-lethal applications, mobility of military robots over challenging and hostile terrain, integration of RAS into existing ground formations from the squad up to and including the task-force level, and overall US DoD RAS development direction, strategy, and concept of operations.
For those interested in attending the meeting in June, there is a $400 early bird discount ending on February 28th 2020. Register at http://www.roboticsautonomous-usa.com/roboticstomorrowpr3

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
