Swarm robotics are reaching the nanometre scale

 

Swarm robotics is a relatively new field, having emerged in the first decade of the 2000s. It is based on the idea of controlling very large numbers of robots simultaneously, in order to perform tasks that an individual machine would be unable to accomplish alone. This is achieved…

Attached is the final report from our Cyber 2050 Mad Scientist conference co-hosted with the Army Cyber Institute at West Point.

Sincere thanks to the Team at ACI for their efforts to execute this exceptional event.

 

Key points from the EXSUM starting at page 3:

 

1. Cyber challenges generate an “alternative domain” experience that alters our normal expectations with respect to every component of the DOTMLPF-P model.…

A 60-year-old ARMY magazine article is serving as the inspiration for a science fiction writing contest sponsored by the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command’s “Mad Scientist Initiative,” which wants imaginative submissions that focus on what soldiering and warfare might look and feel like in the 2030s and 2050s.

The U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command is pleased to announce its first Mad Scientist Science Fiction Writing Contest and will accept submissions between November 22, 2016 and February 15, 2017.

 

The topic for this competition is “Warfare in 2030 to 2050.” Writers from all walks of life have the opportunity to contribute ideas that are outside what the Army is already considering about the future. These stories are…

Attached is the Mission Planning paper. We are trying to highlight several things with KEEL:

 

 

1.       There is a need to provide cost effective mission planning to environments that have both human AND autonomous machine components

 

2.       Whatever plans are created, they will have to be more adaptive than before, because things can change faster than before

 

3.       If those plans are created in a manner that can be interpreted and…

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is requesting information on new ideas, approaches, and capabilities for developing interactive simulations that can be used to calibrate the validity of different social science research methods and tools in drawing "strong inference" about causal mechanisms that can lead to emergent complex behaviors in human social systems. Information…

Is there a calendar of upcoming Mad Scientist meetings?  Thanks
