The Center enables interdisciplinary cooperation, concentrates Academy-wide research efforts, and supports margin-of-excellence activities focused on RAS. The RRC's mission is to provide cadets, staff, and faculty with an opportunity to conduct basic and applied research on RAS, and prepare them to lead in an Army more reliant on artificial intelligence and autonomous systems.The RRC is USMA's largest research center by operating budget, personnel, resources, and capabilities. LTC Joseph Davis Professor and Director of the Robotics Research Center LTC Joseph Davis was commissioned as a second lieutenant in 1996 upon graduation from Marion Military Institute with an Associate of Arts.
