• Adaptive Interoperability of Multiple Heterogeneous Agents - To enable requester agents to find provider agents in environments with heterogeneous and dynamic information services, we have developed middle agents which serve to increase agent interoperability.
• Adaptive Web-Based Information Gathering and Filtering
• Aircraft Maintenance - A wearable software system that uses RETSINA agents to assist in the process of documenting and making repairs to aircraft.
• AMC Barrelmaster Scheduling - Integrated management of airlift and tanker missions at the USAF Air Mobility Command.
• Anthropocentric Robotics - The goal of this project is to improve human-robot interaction by using anthropological resesarch methods to study how people think about robots.
• Asynchronous Teams of Autonomous Agents - An asynchronous team is a way of organizing large numbers of very different types of agents-from the simplest of microelectromechanical devices through intelligent robots to expert humans.
• Autonomous Navigation System - The NREC is leading the development of perception and path planning within the Autonomous Navigation System program for the Future Combat System.
• Bow Leg Hopper - A novel, single-leg, dynamically stabilized planar robot that efficiently traverses rugged terrains under computer control.
• COALA - We are developing a model of inter-organizational electronic commerce.
• Component Analysis for Data Analysis - Component analysis (CA) is a set of techniques to decompose a signal (e.g. audio, video) into interesting components useful for classification, clustering, modeling or visualization. This project extends traditional CA techniques and unifies them, providing a cleaner theoretical framework for its analysis.
• Distributed Design System - CODES - Providing people, tools, and information for integrated robotics design
• EventScope - EventScope's goal is to develop a teaching tool that lets students actively explore 3D representations of NASA mission sites while participating in a cross-disciplinary curriculum that illustrates scientific theories and principles with real-world data from the site.
• Face Detection - We are developing computer methods to automatically locate human faces in photos and video.
• Forecasting the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture Patterns - Use of machine learning techniques to predict the injury pattern of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) using non-invasive methods.
• Formal Verification of Autonomous Systems - We are developing tools and techniques to support formal verification of autonomous systems.
• Hot Flash Detection - Machine learning algorithms to detect hot flashes in women using physiological measures.
• Human-Robot Interaction - The human-robot interaction project explores aspects of social interaction between people and robots, in particular how robots should be designed to provide people with appropriate interactions.
• IBM ITA: Human-Agent Teamwork Models - We are developing models of human-agent teamwork for implementation in software agent systems.
• Indoor People Localization - Tracking multiple people in indoor environments with the connectivity of Bluetooth devices.
• Informedia Digital Video Library - Informedia Digital Video Library - Informedia is pioneering new approaches for automated video and audio indexing, navigation, visualization, summarization search, and retrieval and embedding them in systems for use in education, health care, defense intelligence and understanding of human activity.
• Language for Advertisement and Request for Knowledge Sharing - A common agent capability description language (ACDL) for matching service-requesting software agents with service-providing software agents.
• Learning Locomotion - Robust planning and control of the quadruped robot "Little Dog" to traverse rough terrain (DARPA sponsored).
• Mars Autonomy - Long-distance marsrover navigation with minimal human intervention.
• Matchmaker - A middle agent that facilitates conections among agents that provide services and agents that request services.
• MINTEC - Supply chain management
• Modeling by Videotape - Factorization method of solving the structure-from-motion problem
• Multimodal Diaries - Summarization of daily activity from multimodal data (audio, video, body sensors and computer monitoring)
• Navigation Among Movable Obstacles - Autonomous motion planning and control for robots working in reconfigurable environments.
• PerceptOR (NREC) - We have developed a novel semi-autonomous unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) that includes a dedicated unmanned air vehicle - a "Flying Eye" - that flies ahead of the UGV to detect hazards before the onboard UGV sensors would.
• Pleiades - A project aimed at developing methods for automating negotiation among agents and implementing effective machine learning techniques.
• Project LISTEN's Reading Tutor - Project LISTEN's Reading Tutor listens to children read aloud.
• Reflective Agents with Distributed Adaptive Reasoning - The focus of the RADAR project is to build a cognitive assistant that embodies machine learning technology that is able to function without requiring expert tuning or specially trained users.
• Reusable Environment for Task Structured Intelligent Network Agents - An architecture for developing distributed intelligent software agents that cooperate asynchronously to perform goal-directed information retrieval and information integration in support of a varie
• Robotic Soccer - The RoboSoccer project develops collaboration among multiple autonomous agents.
• Social Robots - We are developing robots with personality.
• Spatio-Temporal Facial Expression Segmentation - A two-step approach temporally segment facial gestures from video sequences. It can register the rigid and non-rigid motion of the face.
• Very Rough Terrain Nonholonomic Trajectory Generation and Motion Planning for Rovers - We are developing rough terrain trajectory generation algorithms for local path planning and optimal regional motion planning methods using a constrained search space.
• WARREN - The WARREN system is a multi-agent application that is designed to help users monitor and manage their financial portfolio.
• WebMate - A personal agent for World-Wide Web browsing that enhances searches and learns user interests.
