OpportunityTitle: Special Program Announcement for 2013: Basic Research Challenges in the Science of Autonomy
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 &#147;Understanding Satisficing in Human, Animal, and Engineered Autonomous Systems for Fast Decision-making with Limited Data,&#148; &#147;Cognitively Compatible Semantic and Visual Representation of Autonomous System Perceptual Data for Effective Human/Machine Collaboration,&#148; &#147;Mental Simulation as a Unifying Framework for Perception, Cognition and Control in Autonomous Systems and Dexterous Robots,&#148; &#147;Structured Machine Learning for Scene Understanding,&#148; and &#147;Integrated Autonomy for Long Duration Operations.&#148; ONR seeks to initiate 6.1 Basic Research efforts in these five thrusts beginning in Government Fiscal Year 2013.
