About this award

The University of Southern California was awarded a $750,000 cooperative agreement from the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command under the Research and Technology Development program (CFDA 12.910). The award will support the NEUROBOT project from April 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022.

The NEUROBOT project will take a bioinspired developmental approach to developing technologies for autonomous lifelong machine learning. The goal is to advance research that could have military or dual-use applications in robotics and artificial intelligence. The University of Southern California will leverage its expertise in neuroscience, robotics, and machine learning to simulate how biological nervous systems develop and adapt over a lifetime of experiences. Insights from this research may help engineers design autonomous systems capable of continuously acquiring new skills and responding to new environments.
