2010 Robotics Rodeo - Fort Benning, GA For the second consecutive year, the U.S. Army is inviting prominent robotics technologists from across the country to gather and display their most forward-looking technologies and demonstrate how those unmanned systems can support current and future military, disaster relief and humanitarian support efforts. During the 2010 Robotics Rodeo Oct. 12-15, 2010, at Fort Benning, GA, technology innovators will participate in both task-based events and open robotics demonstrations with stated goals of motivating the industry, educating developers and observing the current state of ground robotics technology and artificial intelligence development and potential capabilities.

This event follows the success of the Army’s inaugural Robotics Rodeo in Aug. 2009 at Fort Hood, TX. At the event, co-hosted by III Corps and the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC), more than 50 companies gathered in the Texas heat for four days of demonstrations.

(As with the inaugural event, the 2010 Robotics Rodeo is not a competition. Instead, it is a market research event to help determine what industry technologies will potentially benefit the Army’s robotics programs.)
