- Description
- DARPA-SN-11-07 The Defense Sciences Office (DSO) of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is seeking ideas that may support a potential new DARPA program designed to provide novel approaches to sense and interpret biological signals correlated with human user intent, and to translate these signals into actual waypoints or movement commands in a virtual or physical environment. Relevant biological signals may include, but are not limited to, electromagnetic, galvanic, and behavioral responses. Potential applications of this technology may include immersive 3D warfighter training or robot operation. Bandwidth must be sufficient to at least indicate waypoints in real time. The error rate must be low enough to overcome potential disruption by noise associated with simultaneous body movements and external electrical interference. In a simulation training environment, for example, it would be advantageous for users to control avatar navigation while concurrently performing manual tasks such as weapons training. Likewise, methods of navigating a robot using biological signals should allow the operator to manually control additional complex robotic tasks. Primary usage is focused on normal, healthy populations as end users, and in these cases, non-invasive methodologies are ideal. Respondents are also welcome to address both invasive and non-invasive approaches geared toward clinical populations such as paraplegics and lower extremity amputees. DARPA-SN-11-07
