(June 23, 2018) Kelly Cooper, center, a program manager for the Office of Naval Research's (ONR) sea warfare and weapons, ship systems and engineering research division, observes as a student-designed autonomous robotic boat from the University of Michigan tests its thrusters prior to taking on an aquatic obstacle course during the 2018 International RoboBoat Competition at Reed Canal Park in South Daytona, Fla. Sponsored by ONR, the behaviors demonstrated during the competition mimic tasks that are being developed for coastal surveillance, port security and other types of oceanographic operations.
