The National Science Foundation awarded $201,544 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070) to The Johns Hopkins University from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. This Project Grant will support augmenting and validating the Chrono physics-based simulation framework to empower research on autonomous agents operating in complex, unstructured dynamic environments that may interact with humans or other agents. Key deliverables include enabling Chrono to generate machine learning training data quickly and inexpensively; facilitating comparison of competing autonomous system designs; and assessing design robustness through simulation of corner-case scenarios. The upgraded Chrono framework will leverage computational dynamics innovations to further research and education in multi-disciplinary fields involving autonomous technologies.
