This grant, offered by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), targets basic research in the science of autonomy. It addresses critical multi-disciplinary challenges relevant to naval air, sea, undersea, and ground systems. ONR seeks 6.1 Basic Research efforts in five key areas: understanding fast decision-making with limited data; cognitively compatible human-machine collaboration; mental simulation for perception, cognition, and control; structured machine learning for scene understanding; and integrated autonomy for long duration operations. This program aims to foster foundational advancements in autonomous capabilities.

| Description: | The Office of Naval Research (ONR) basic research programs in autonomy address critical multi-disciplinary fundamental challenges that cut across different scientific and engineering disciplines and system domains (air, sea, undersea, and ground systems) with a focus on problems with particular naval relevance. Five new basic research focus areas have been identified and are Understanding Satisficing in Human, Animal, and Engineered Autonomous Systems for Fast Decision-making with Limited Data, Cognitively Compatible Semantic and Visual Representation of Autonomous System Perceptual Data for Effective Human/Machine Collaboration, Mental Simulation as a Unifying Framework for Perception, Cognition and Control in Autonomous Systems and Dexterous Robots, Structured Machine Learning for Scene Understanding, and Integrated Autonomy for Long Duration Operations. ONR seeks to initiate 6.1 Basic Research efforts in these five thrusts beginning in Government Fiscal Year 2013. |
