The Office of Naval Research is sponsoring research to develop environmentally friendly hull coatings to fight off barnacles and other biofouling on Navy ships.

In a study that could improve how people learn and retain information, ONR Global-sponsored researchers in Rome significantly boosted the memory and mental performance of laboratory mice through electrical stimulation.

Groundbreaking energy research from the United Arab Emirates, sponsored by the Office of Naval Research Global, is the focus of an article published this week in the acclaimed Nature Magazine journal “Scientific Reports.”

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).

With ONR support, engineers at MIT have designed a portable measurement system to precisely monitor the amount of electricity used by household appliances, lighting fixtures and electronic devices.

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.

Registration is now open for those wishing to attend the Office of Naval Research’s (ONR) biennial 2017 Naval Future Force Science and Technology (S&T) Expo.

The future of naval engineering was on display last week, as 13 teams of high school and college students did battle at the ninth annual RoboBoat Competition in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

After months of planning, it all came to down to this one moment—the 19th annual international RoboSub Competition, held in San Diego, California, July 25-30.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) recently welcomed the U.S. Navy’s newest research vessel—R/V Sally Ride—for oceanographic research.
