ONR recently participated in the 2020 JROBOT Summit, which discussed bringing more robotics systems into sustainment.

A recent activity was executed with participants from Denmark, Canada and the United States using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to deploy GPS tags onto icebergs near Disko Bay, Greenland.

Researchers deployed the system, called “Rough Rhino,” aboard U.S. aircraft, ships and partner nation ships operating in waters off the coast of Senegal and Cape Verde. Sailors and Coast Guardsmen could access and control the sensors both afloat and ashore, as well as share information in a real-time common operating picture.

What: Fourth Annual International Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition When: Thursday, July 12 to Sunday, July 15, 2001 Where: U.S. Naval Academy, Hubbard Hall, Annapolis, MD. See 12 teams of college and high school student engineers pit their unmanned submersible vehicles for $20,000 in prizes...

Navy engineers are making final adjustments to a laser weapon prototype that will be the first of its kind to deploy aboard a ship late this summer.

ONR today launched a collaborative initiative with university researchers focused on synthetic, or engineered, cells—part of a larger effort to use the smallest units of life to help Sailors and Marines execute their missions.

Rear Adm. Giancarlo Stagno Canziani shared recovery efforts following Chile's 8.8-magnitude earthquake during a lecture at ONR on May 31, 2011.

Scientists based in the nation’s capital are stepping into the desert and rainforest to run experiments on autonomous systems without having to set foot outside the Navy’s new robotics laboratory, officials said April 2.

Taking its science-minded message to the Web, ONR launched profiles on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube earlier this year. The digital media initiative is part of a multipronged approach to help ONR communicate more directly and quickly with partners across government, academia and private industry.

College students from around the world will have a hand in shaping the future of ocean robotics as they compete in the first Maritime RobotX Challenge, which kicks off this week in Singapore.
