Dear Larry,
I made my comments and denoted them by ****.
In another message I will send you the proposed changed flowchart, that
you sent.
WE WANT TO PLAY an ACTIVE Role in this game!!!
Please let me know what you and other think and how to proceed from here.
Very best,
Ruzena Bajcsy and Vijay Kumar(GRASP lab.).
------------------------ text of 3 bullet charts follow ----------------
these plans are based on a local working group meeting that
included: Glenn Kramer (EIT), Tom Gruber (KSL), Richard Fikes (KSL),
Larry Leifer (CDR), Mark Cutkosky (CDR), George Toye (CDR), and
Charles Petrie (CDR).
**** The UPENN group and possibly CMU wish to propose for our consideration
another TASK such as design,and making of a mobile computer
with the aim of testing all the bellow subtasks on electromechanical
components***
SLIDE-1
What:
paradigm for collaborative R&D integrating ARPA-MADE
community members holding related but different foci
(require funded projects to talk to and depend on eachother)
Why:
demonstrate the power of a new R&D infrastructure that includes:
university research
industry development
government technology programs
and the enabling internet services
Deliverable:
on-line engineering notebook for project mgt. (WWW)
functional IRFPA subsystem prototypes
white paper: describe what we did and delineate new R&D opportunities
MadeFast experiment documentation
**** reverse enginering of components***
Vision:
demonstrate technology and reveal technology gaps
coordinate collaboration amongst diverse specialists
dual use: diverse, distributed, cost driven, cycle time dependent.
SLIDE-2
IRFPA redesign scenario:
Assume IRFPA for civilian police or DEA use
Develop a typical mission profile
Draft design and mfg. requirements
Launch multiple design alternatives responding to mfg.
capability
CNC technology
MD* shape deposition mfg
Fiber composites
Comparatively simulate and model the candidates
Prototype strong candidates
Capture Design,
***reverse enigineering of existing designs and/or prototypes***
Mfg. and Coordination Knowledge
Document the MadeFast Experiment
Technical content
Project coordination (especially Internet usage)
Deliver documentation
CDROM "original" documents and files
WWW-Mosaic for browsing
Video to dramatize the story
SLIDE-3
MADEFAST Player Model:
MADE-phase-1 Players
CDR-Share PACT'92 player
EIT-Share PACT'92 player
KSL-Ontology PACT'92 player
CMU-MD*
*** UPENN-reverse engineering****
Utah-Alpha-1 with CNC output
MIT-Mechanism Reasoning
Cornell-Simulation
MSU-Composites
others tbd ...
MADE-phase-2 Players
TI - FPA
Hughes - Integration
Rockwell - Design Tools
Utah - PartNet
