Researchers at Johns Hopkins APL are working on a proof of concept for a conversational artificial intelligence agent that will be able to provide medical guidance to untrained soldiers in plain English, by applying knowledge gleaned from established care procedures.

APL is equipping AFWERX — a technology directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory and the innovation arm of the Department of the Air Force — with capabilities to quickly and safely test autonomous vehicles in complex, interactive environments.

Prior to his retirement, APL welcomed the former Direct Reporting Program Manager, AUKUS Integration and Acquisition Office Rear Admiral David Goggins (USN ret.) on June 29 for a visit to recognize the contributions of APL staff members to developing and successfully fielding new technological advances that bolster our nation’s undersea capabilities.

In 2024, a small rover is set to roam the Moon, collecting critical data to help scientists better understand characteristics of the lunar surface. The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland, recently received the rover from commercial partner Lunar Outpost. The rover is a key element of NASA’s Lunar Vertex payload suite.

MaKhaila Bentil, an intern at APL, has charted a course for leadership early on in her career.

A collaboration between Johns Hopkins APL and Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore is applying data science expertise to combat preventable harms in the health care system, using the Precision Medicine Analytics Platform.

Madison Harshaw is an intern at APL, working in the Lab’s Information Technology Services Department.

Johns Hopkins APL researchers are exploring how new capabilities in artificial intelligence, augmented reality and robotics might support collaborative intervention by teams of medics, AI-based virtual assistants and autonomous robots.
