Artificial Intelligence for Autonomous Systems

The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) offers research opportunities in artificial intelligence and neural networks for future Army autonomous systems. This specific opportunity focuses on advancing the application and development of AI for autonomous systems, including researching components such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recursive neural networks (RNNs), kernel based learners, and auto-encoders. These will be coupled with reinforcement learning and other techniques for incorporation into systems such as autonomous robotic navigation and surveillance, and human-machine interaction with knowledge bases. The program is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army. The research will be conducted under the Computational and Information Sciences Directorate (CISD), which focuses on communications, atmospheric modeling, battlefield visualization, and computing relevant to the digital battlefield.
