DARPA gives the public a one-stop shop for its open-source code
2/4/2014 9:31:00 PM

Ever wish you could help DARPA build our future robot overloards? Wish no more, friends, because DARPA's new open source program will let you in on the action.

DARPA's making the DARPA Open Catalog, a collection of the publically-releasable elements from its findings over the years, available to public. Why is Uncle Sam's far-out reasearch wing willing to share its secrets? Free labor, folks. The goal of the program is to get the science and R&D communities to test and evaluate the catalog, and ultimately, build communities around government funded software and research.

All the goodies are available right now to would-be tinkerers and mad scientists. And, keep in mind that the more folks take advantage of DARPA's generosity, the more info it'll add to the catalog. Gotta give a little to get a little, right?
