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).

ONR is supporting research on trimming software bloat to ensure the Navy’s cloud and other computing efforts run more securely and efficiently.

ONR recently demonstrated new and improved training technology at the Fleet Integrated Synthetic Training/Testing Facility (FIST2FAC) on Ford Island, Hawaii.

Scientists sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) have genetically modified a common soil bacteria to create electrical wires that not only conduct electricity, but are thousands of times thinner than a human hair.

Researchers at Georgia Tech have created an artificial intelligence software program to teach robots to read stories, learn acceptable behavior and understand successful ways to conduct themselves in diverse social situations.

ONR-sponsored researchers will unveil a Web-based tool suite designed to help first responders to international crises, including humanitarian assistance and disaster relief efforts, during a month-long rollout which begins this week.
