Services

In addition to providing a complete line of JAUS-compliant unmanned vehicle software products, Applied Perception also offers several services for government or private organizations interested in unmanned vehicle technologies. Applied Perception’s activities in this area range from providing basic research and development capability, unmanned vehicle concept generation, and system evaluation and testing expertise to complete robotic system integration of all hardware and software systems.

For the former activities, Applied Perception personnel can assess your applications, and depending upon your needs, provide prototype software, concepts of operation based on current and future technology capabilities, and unbiased assessment of existing robotic systems. Applied Perception can also provide your organization with turn-key unmanned vehicle solutions. We have provided complete robotic systems – from operator control unit to (multiple) unmanned vehicles to the U.S. Department of Defense as well as other commercial and academic organizations.

The following describes a few of our recent activities in this area. If you have further questions or are interested in how we may be able help support your unmanned system needs, please feel free to contact us.

TARDEC Robotics SkunkWorks: “For this project, Applied Perception designed, developed, and led the assembly of the 3500lb TAGS-CX robotic vehicle for TARDEC. To accomplish this, we worked with government personnel and subcontractors to manage the development and integration of both existing and new technologies into the TAGS-CX platform. This worked involved integrating existing JAUS-compliant software from other projects, as well as developing new payloads for mission specific needs.

St. Francis University REMED-D:  “For the Robotic Emergency Medicine and Danger-Detection (REMeD-D) program, Applied Perception worked with St. Francis University as well as their government sponsor to assess the required capabilities and develop a marsupial suite of three robotic vehicles (2 iRobot Packbots and 1 modified John Deere Gator). Applied Perception managed all system integration activities, from mechanical retrofit subcontracting to sensor selection, procurement and installation. In addition, Applied Perception’s JAUS compliant software products were used to provide a standardized system architecture to enable interoperability and extensibility among and between users and vendors.

Robotic Combat Casualty Extraction and Evaculation: “For this project, Applied Perception led a team with support from Northrop Grumman Remotec to develop a novel marsupial robot pair to aid battlefield medics. Applied Perception developed the technology to support a jointly developed concept of operations for locating, extracting and evacuating wounded soldiers.
