Perceptually Enabled Task Guidance (PTG)

DARPA is soliciting innovative fundamental research proposals in the area of perceptually-enabled task guidance. The goal is to create artificial intelligence technology that knows (i.e. creates and maintains a working representation) about physical tasks in real-time and can see what the user sees and hear what the user hears, and as result can catch mistakes, provide relevant information in context, and instruct when necessary. DARPA is soliciting these proposals for fundamental research to investigate innovative approaches that enable revolutionary advances in science. Specifically excluded is research that primarily results in evolutionary improvements to the existing state of practice.
