Mobile Intelligence is located in Livonia,
Michigan. The company was founded in 1993 by Dr. MacKenzie to conduct
research and development in advanced intelligent systems.
Mobile Intelligence's expertise is focused on autonomous robotics,
multi-robot mission specification, tasking, and sitational awareness,
artificial intelligence, case-based reasoning, and software agent architectures.
The company has significant experience in development of object-oriented
software in Java and C++ for a broad range of applications including GUIs,
control systems, and distributed architectures.
Mobile Intelligence currently has a key role in two high-profile, state-of-the-art
DARPA initiatives exploring the use of software agent technology for military
applications. The Ultra*Log project focuses on developing a scalable,
survivable software agent architecture for hostile war-time environments.
Mobile Intelligence's role includes
developing capabilities for monitoring and configuring societies of software
agents, and developing reusable case-based reasoning modules.
Mobile Intelligence is also serving as a subcontractor to the Georgia
Institute of Technology for the Mobile Autonomous Robotics Software (MARS)
project. This project is pushing the boundaries of controlling teams of
heterogenious robots.
Mobile Intelligence's responsbilities include integrating three groups of robots,
and porting robot behaviors to the other architectures.
The result is an integrated user interface and mission specification capability
that uses all available robot assets to complete complex multi-robot missions.
The company has a strong technical management team spearheaded by Dr.
Douglas C. MacKenzie, the president and founder and supported by Mr. Ronald
D. Snyder, a senior-level developer/manager with more than 20 years of
experience in the defense industry. As a small business, Mobile Intelligence
has the advantage of hands-on management, ensuring that technical efforts
are focused on achieving project goals.
Mobile Intelligence provides consulting and development services in
several high-tech areas, including design and/or implementation of:
-
control software for robotic systems
-
distributed object architectures
-
software agent architectures
-
case-based reasoning systems
Mobile Intelligence utilizes a development process based on many of the
software industry's best practices. Our process framework is designed for
economy of scale and high customer value through the application of a common
framework, extensive automation, and common architecture patterns and components.
As a result our software artifacts are configurable for a broad spectrum
of applications.
