Autonomous Systems is one of seven technology/research areas the 26th Army Science Conference is emphasizing as part of its conference theme, "Transformational Army Science & Technology-Harnessing Disruptive S&T for the Soldier. Shown here are Army Research Lab Engineers Barry O'Brien (left) and Dave Baron, who have modified a PackBot so that it autonomously stops when it approaches an obstacle, which in this case is Lt. Col. Keith Harvey's foot.
