Serious Games and Robotics in Command and Control

Jay Crossler
Doctoral Student

Thursday, November 29, 2007

ABSTRACT

The speaker will review the current state of practice of Social Software (sometimes referred to as Web 2.0) and it's applicability to command and control situations/tools. A research initiative highlighting how this social software can be used to improve command and control platforms for robotics (Kinetics) and social software (Information). We will further review the use of game engines, such as the Torque Gaming Engine, for serious purposes - specifically as a simulator to reduce the development cost of these complicated networks and applications.
