2021 National Robotics Initiative and Foundational Reseach in Robotics Principal Investigators' Meeting
This year's meeting will be held virtually over three days from Tuesday, April 19 through Thursday, April 21, 2022.
The goal of this ninth PI meeting is to assemble the community of researchers, industry representatives, non-governmental and non-profit organizations, and Government program managers who are actively engaged in the National Robotics Initiative (NRI) and the Foundational Research in Robotics (FRR) Program to review the progress, challenges, and future directions of NRI and FRR research and to provide an environment for PIs to showcase their research and to network.
The NRI 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
The FRR program supports research on robotic systems that exhibit significant levels of both computational capability and physical complexity where intelligence is embodied in engineered constructs, with the ability to process information, sense, and move within or substantially alter their working environments.
