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).

BAA Call N00014-23-S-BC14 Special Programs Announcement for Office of Naval Research Research Opportunity: Enabling Technologies for Electronic Warfare and Surveillance

The Office of Naval Research coordinates, executes and promotes the science and technology programs of the United States Navy and Marine Corps.

TechSolutions, part of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global, takes a problem identified by a Sailor or Marine and tries to come up with solutions through a rapid-response technology development program. Jason Payne, director of TechSolutions, said his office is eager to hear about anything needed that may be solved through technology. A good idea does not necessarily need to come from an engineer or scientist. Sailors and Marines who wish to make a submission may register for an account with their CAC-enabled computer at the link provided on the TechSolutions webpage: https://www.onr.navy.mil/techsolutions/. Accounts are validated within a few minutes and ready for input.
