James Chao, a Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific artificial intelligence researcher, speaks during a “lightning talk” in the robotics and autonomous systems session at the Naval Applications of Machine Learning workshop in San Diego, March 2, 2026. Chao discussed accelerated multi-agent reinforcement learning for maritime autonomous agents, emphasizing efforts to bridge the gap between simulation and the real world. NAML is an annual event hosted jointly by NIWC Pacific and AFCEA International San Diego that connects government, industry, and academic researchers to advance machine learning capabilities for the fleet.
