The US Army’s advancements in human-machine teaming presented at MRAS USA 2022
SAE Media Group reports: Branches of the US Army will be sharing insight into their developments in human-machine teaming at the Military Robotics and Autonomous Systems (MRAS) USA Conference, in Arlington, VA, this June.
Inside the US Army's plan for autonomous weapons is the idea to leverage and integrate the best attributes of both human cognition and machine-enabled autonomy.
"The guidance that we've received from our most senior leaders is to use capabilities like artificial intelligence, or advanced robotics, to augment soldiers, not necessarily to replace them," Maj. Gen. John Rafferty, director of Army Futures Command's Long Range Precision Fires Cross-Functional Team, commented in an interview. *
The upcoming Military Robotics and Autonomous USA Conference, taking place in Arlington, VA, USA, on June 20-21, 2022, will feature in-depth briefings on how human-machine teaming in the future, will enhance the operational and institutional effectiveness of the US Army, international allies, and its partners.
Free attendance for US Military & DOD Personnel. To apply, please contact Jack Overell at joverell@smi-online.co.uk. Register at http://www.roboticsautonomous-usa.com/PR3.

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.
