Boston Dynamics and its terrifying BigDog pack mule robot might not have taken the military world by storm as some predicted it would, but that doesn’t mean the military is giving up on autonomous robots — not by a long shot. The Marine Corps announced a new round of testing for its promising Unmanned Tactical Autonomous Control and Collaboration (UTACC) robotic combat assistance program. It could help make troops safer, give them better battlefield awareness, and even collaborate with other autonomous systems so fewer troops are needed in the first place.
The UTACC (I’ve decided that this is pronounced YOUtack) program apparently includes a number of different robotic solutions, each crucially designed to interact intelligently with the others. One might notice an enemy, signaling another to start following that enemy from far above. In the testing revealed this week, they tried out little rolling robot packed with sensors, various communications systems, and a quadcopter drone on its back. According to its creators, when this “ground and air robot” detects a problematic hole in its sight, it can automatically launch the air unit and stitch the readings together into one useful, unbroken picture for soldiers and commanders.
