Arlington AFB VA (AFNS) Feb 11, 2010-Air Force Research Laboratory-funded researchers from several universities are studying the flexible, flapping wings of bats (as well as birds and certain insects) in order to mimic desirable biological attributes towards micro air vehicle improvements in agility, speed, and adaptability. If successfully transitioned, this research could ultimately lead to small, remote-controlled (i.e., u ... more  
Eglin AFB FL (AFNS) Feb 11, 2010Air Force Research Laboratory awarded Imagination Engines, Inc., a Phase II Small Business Innovation Research contract to develop advanced algorithms for mobile autonomous robots. The Air Force needs creative terrain-sensing and multivalued behavior-fusion algorithms for these robots due to the high uncertainty and complexity of battlefield environments. Mobile autonomous robots must empl ... more
