+                  We are pleased to announce the publication of our paper
+                  <strong>“Nonprioritized Motion Planning for Autonomous Uncrewed Surface Vehicles in Maritime
+                     Environments”</strong>
+                  in the IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering, authored by Mustafa Bayrak and Haluk Bayram.
+                  <br><br>
+                  This study presents the nonprioritized motion planning (NPMP) approach, a COLREGs-compliant path
+                  planning algorithm that lets an autonomous uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) avoid encounters with
+                  crewed ships in advance instead of only avoiding collisions. When an encounter cannot be avoided,
+                  the USV still follows COLREGs to prevent a collision. Across 80 simulated scenarios with varying
+                  numbers of ships and paths, the USV using NPMP had fewer encounters with crewed ships and kept
+                  longer distances from them than a COLREGs-compliant baseline.

+               <p class="duyuru-aciklama">
+                  Our TÜBİTAK 1005 National Research Support Programme for New Ideas and Products project titled
+                  "Satellite, Topographic Data, and UAV-Assisted Motion Planning for Autonomous Ground Vehicles in
+                  Off-Road Conditions" has been approved. The project, led by Principal Investigator Assoc. Prof.
+                  Haluk Bayram from Istanbul Medeniyet University, will be carried out by the Field Robotics
+                  Laboratory.
+                  <br><br>
+                  The project will build a global cost map of terrain slope and drivability risk from satellite
+                  imagery and elevation data, update it online with the vehicle's camera, LiDAR and IMU data, and use
+                  UAV observations where satellite data falls short. The resulting motion planning system will be
+                  tested on a real ground vehicle in the field.
+                  <br><br>
+                  Congratulations to the project team: Asiye Demirtaş, Erdal Alimovski, Mustafa Bayrak, Özgür Erkent,
+                  and Haluk Bayram.
