Joint Robotics Program (JRP)-supported efforts at the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, San Diego

Abstract

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, San Diego (SSC San Diego) is conducting a number of robotics research, development, evaluation, fielding, and combat-support missions and projects in support of Joint Robotics Program (JRP) goals. These include: Man-Portable Robotic System, Unmanned Surface Vessel, Automatically Deployed Communication Relays, Autonomous UAV Mission System, Robotic Systems Pool, Family of Integrated Rapid Response Equipment, and the Technology Transfer project. This paper summarizes the recent accomplishments and current status of these efforts, many of which are individually presented in more detail elsewhere at this conference.

Exploring law enforcement officers’ expectations and attitudes about communication robots in police work

“…Furthermore, technologies were developed to prevent hacking and enhance hacking detection in robot communications (Abeykoon & Feng, 2017).

In addition, abilities to pick up non-verbal cues and respond to natural nonverbal behaviors were researched (Vogeley & Bente, 2010).…”
