Training Robots to Plan and React Like Humans
APL researchers are advancing robotic perception by using artificial intelligence to equip autonomous agents with the capacity to make sense of unstructured environments—and make plans just like humans.
Game-Changing Impact
We solve complex research, engineering, and analytical problems that present critical challenges to our nation.
By combining creativity and technical expertise with a culture of risk-taking, we tackle increasingly difficult challenges with impacts across multiple domains.
Chief Scientist, Additive ManufacturingA unique aspect of working at APL is the ability to leverage technology from seemingly unrelated areas. For example, we can take knowledge we apply to missile defense—responding to measurement inputs very quickly and making adjustments even faster—and apply it to additive manufacturing.
