| | Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is an agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of new technology for use by the military. | | | The controversial Mansfield Amendment of 1973 expressly limited appropriations for defense research (through ARPA/DARPA) to projects with direct military application. | | | The Tactical Technology Office engages in high-risk, high-payoff advanced military research, emphasizing the "system" and "subsystem" approach to the development of aeronautic, space, and land systems as well as embedded processors and control systems. |

| | The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, also known as DARPA or ARPA is an agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of new technology for use by the military. | | | DARPA was created as the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), by Public Law 85-325 and Department of Defense Directive 5105.41, in February 1958. | | | These large-scale technological program demonstrations were joined by integrated circuit research, which resulted in submicron electronic technology and electron devices that evolved into the Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Program and the Congressionally-mandated charged particle beam program. |

| | The Centibots project, funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), is aimed at developing new technology to support the coordinated deployment of as many as 100 robots for missions such as urban surveillance. | | | The development is structured to exploit existing research solutions that are fairly robust (self-localization, path planning) and then identifying and exploring areas where research is still needed but where solutions are being developed and refined (map construction, multirobot concurrent mapping) as well as areas where significant research is needed (human and robot interaction, team formation). | | | The goal of this project is to advance the state of the art in distributed robotics. |
