New SDK tool from Charles River Analytics focuses on symbiotic AI to help design engineers create cost-effective systems
As AI-based tools are increasingly incorporated into system design processes, human-machine collaborative workflows must mitigate potential biases of human designers while promoting human insights and creativity. An AI-driven alternative approach to the design process that addresses these needs is the inspiration for the Joint, Adaptive, Robust Visualization and Interaction System (JARVIS) tool from Charles River […]
Navy awards Charles River Analytics a contract to facilitate easy integration of hierarchical autonomous systems in the military
As the US military integrates more autonomous systems into its ranks, it must do so in the context of existing command-and-control (C2) structures. Ensuring that new uncrewed systems (UxSs) play well and conform to hierarchical protocols is not easy, but Charles River Analytics is addressing the challenge. The Office of Naval Research awarded Charles River […]
NIH grant supports extension of Charles River’s CBT-based TheraVerse™ product line to include VR app for people looking to quit vaping
Charles River Analytics was awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to create a virtual reality (VR) application to enhance therapy for quitting electronic cigarettes (vaping). Studies have linked vaping to adverse effects such as oral health problems, lung damage, and […]
Charles River Analytics to help the Air Force execute critical security decisions
Charles River Analytics received Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) funding from the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) to develop integrated tools to support decision-making related to installation security and risk assessment. The resultant system, Real-Time Assessment and Decision Interactive Toolkit (READI), delivers relevant information tailored to the needs of each user in […]
VR tool from Charles River Analytics will help train emergency responders handling hazardous materials
The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) awarded Charles River Analytics a contract to help instructors use virtual reality (VR) tools appropriately and to their full potential to enhance training for emergency responders who may encounter hazardous materials. The project has received funding of approximately a quarter of a million dollars, enabling the design […]
DARPA awards Charles River Analytics multiple SBIR contracts to explore artificial social intelligence for enhanced collective problem-solving
Charles River Analytics was awarded a ~$1.5 M contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to create a toolkit that enables collaboration among experts. The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) sequential Phase II contract builds on previous work on a cross-domain collaboration workflow management system and an artificial intelligence (AI) coach for teams.
