The goal of this meeting was to bring together the community of researchers, industry representatives, and Government program managers who are actively engaged in the National Robotics Program that was launched during 2011 to achieve the following objectives:
foster awareness and communication between NRI teams, many of whom employ complementary or competing approaches to related problems
offer a forum for demonstrating and sharing best practices in education, technology transfer, and general outreach
provide concentrated opportunities to share NRI successes with the media and other government agencies
establish a centralized and lasting repository representing and illustrating the research ideas explored by and milestones achieved by NRI projects over the past year
