Abstract:

In April 1992 the Federal Highway Administration formally established the Office of Advanced Research for the application of the latest technical advances to highway transportation. One of the six major areas of research is named robots/automation/man-machines. Research on remote controlled equipment began with the Strategic Highway Research Program in the form of a pothole repairing machine and an automatic pavement crack sealing machine. This article briefly reviews FHWA's accomplishments, current research, and future plans in the area of automation and robotics research.
