About this award
Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES), a research entity within the Texas A&M University System, was awarded a $226,644.05 research grant by a civilian federal agency on August 30, 2021, with completion targeted for October 25, 2024. The award supports research into efficient and robust Radio Frequency Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (RFS-SLAM) utilizing probabilistic extended feature models. This research addresses a critical challenge in autonomous systems and robotics where accurate localization within an environment is essential to mission success, yet typically requires expensive and time-consuming a priori environmental information such as feature maps. The work will be performed in College Station, Texas, and represents a non-set-aside competitive award.
The contract was awarded with no specific set-aside designation, reflecting TEES' competitive standing through full and open competition. TEES brings extensive expertise in autonomous systems, advanced technologies, and robotics development through its diverse federal research portfolio, including prior work with the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and NASA. As a Land Grant institution research entity, TEES typically engages in collaborative research efforts that advance critical national technological priorities, with this grant focusing on developing innovative localization methodologies that could enhance autonomous system capabilities across multiple application domains.
Description
