Raytheon BBN Technologies

Robots require collaborative problem solving abilities, which means they require continuous communications capabilities that deliver self-organizing, self-healing, adaptive delivery of information in highly volatile and restrictive mobile environments. Raytheon BBN Technologies has developed, delivered and demonstrated an Energy Conserving Stack for Robot Teams, mechanisms at different layers of the protocol stack to provide significant energy savings, collaborative architecture, enhanced networking through intra-robot interaction, operational and environment mode adaptation, an interactive learning approach to network enhancement, pro-active network feedback, RF and link views to other modules, and asynchronous prediction of future network events.
