This grant supports organization of the workshop that brings together thought leaders from industry and academia to discuss use-case scenarios for use of robots in small and medium sized enterprises. The objective of the workshop is (1) to present and discuss industry use-cases for robotics in manufacturing and in particular examples where a move from fixed automation to flexible automation is an economic enabler and (2) to have broad discussions across academia and industry to internalize a common set of challenges and opportunities. The workshop participants gain new insights into what advances needed to deploy robotics in small and medium manufacturers. The workshop report provides a roadmap of challenges and research opportunities to guide the robotics community. The workshop stimulates future research towards development of robots for manufacturing applications. These activities directly impact the U.S. manufacturing.

这笔赠款支持组织研讨会，汇集了来自工业界和学术界的思想领袖，讨论在中小型企业中使用机器人的用例场景。研讨会的目标是：（1）介绍和讨论机器人在制造业中的行业用例，特别是从固定自动化到灵活自动化的转变是经济推动力的例子;（2）在学术界和工业界进行广泛的讨论，以内化一系列共同的挑战和机遇。研讨会的参与者获得了关于在中小型制造商中部署机器人技术所需的进展的新见解。研讨会报告提供了一个挑战和研究机会的路线图，以指导机器人社区。该研讨会将促进未来的研究，以开发用于制造应用的机器人。 这些活动直接影响美国制造业。
