ONR-sponsored researchers at the University of California Los Angeles have designed the first detailed computer simulation model of an injured human leg, complete with spurting blood.

A team of researchers led by Dr. Rajesh Rao, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Washington, recently published a paper showing how robots can learn much like children—amassing data by watching adults do something, determining the goal of the action and then deciding how to perform it on their own. Rao’s work is sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR).

Last week, Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Mat Winter addressed the Sixth Symposium on the Impacts of an Ice-Diminishing Arctic on Maritime and Naval Operations.

The the Office of Naval Research’s (ONR) Expeditionary Canine Sciences program is taking a fresh look at how dogs are trained to identify different explosive devices.

Recognizing the modern need for bold answers to complex naval challenges, ONR has sponsored the creation of Stanford University’s Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation (GKC)—a new academic center dedicated to helping the U.S. government re-envision its approach to national security issues.

The Office of Naval Research demonstrated two systems designed to make it easier for Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) and Fire Support Marines to train.

ONR Global TechSolutions recently demonstrated the Anthropometric Measurement Device, which is designed to help select the right aircraft for differently sized aviators.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is sponsoring work by Dr. Anish Tuteja, an associate professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Michigan, to develop a new type of “omniphobic” coating that might save the U.S. Navy millions of dollars in ship fuel costs, reduce the amount of energy that vessels consume and improve operational efficiency.

A unique maritime competition, sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), recently took place in Sarasota, Florida. The 16th annual RoboBoat competition brought together teams of students from across the globe to assemble and navigate autonomous unmanned surface vehicles (USV) through a series of real-world challenges, including coastal surveillance, port security and oceanographic exploration, at Sarasota’s Nathan Benderson Park.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) — and its international arm, ONR Global — participated in the recent Autonomous Warrior 2023 (AW23) exercise, located at HMAS Creswell in Jervis Bay, Australia.
