This project is to support a one-day workshop to bring together leading experts to evaluate the impact of the National Robotics Initiative (NRI) and Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) initiative, explore possible overlap and synergies between the NRI and CPS, and identify future drivers and opportunities for both areas. An additional goal of the workshop is to explore the extent to which the science of autonomy and autonomous systems, another area of national importance, could be complementary to these initiatives. The workshop provides a short report with vignettes that illustrates the differences and the synergies between these three areas.Recent multi-agency initiatives in robotics and cyber physical systems have successfully catalyzed many exciting, high-impact educational and research projects. The need for this workshop stems from the focus on intellectual similarities and differences between the NRI and CPS initiatives, and what should they be going forward. The workshop focus consists of a comprehensive analysis of three important growth areas: robotics, autonomy, and cyber physical systems. Each of these three areas is expected to significantly impact virtually all sectors of our economy including healthcare, manufacturing, construction, mining and agriculture. An ambitious education and research agenda in these areas has the potential to improve our quality of human life. This workshop assembles the top researchers in the fields of robotics, autonomy, and cyber physical systems to discuss the underlying challenges and to produce a report to help inform future education and research investments by academia, government and industry.

该项目旨在支持一个为期一天的研讨会，汇聚顶尖专家，评估国家机器人倡议(NRI)和网络物理系统(CPS)倡议的影响，探索NRI和CPS之间可能的重叠和协同效应，并确定这两个领域的未来驱动因素和机会。讲习班的另一个目标是探讨自主科学和自主系统这一另一个具有国家重要性的领域可以在多大程度上补充这些举措。研讨会提供了一份简短的报告，其中的小插曲说明了这三个领域之间的差异和协同效应。最近在机器人和网络物理系统方面的多机构倡议成功地催化了许多令人兴奋的、高影响的教育和研究项目。之所以需要举办这一研讨会，是因为人们关注NRI和CPS倡议之间在知识上的相似和不同之处，以及它们应该在哪些方面向前迈进。研讨会的重点包括对三个重要增长领域的全面分析：机器人、自主和网络物理系统。这三个领域预计都将对我们经济的几乎所有部门产生重大影响，包括医疗保健、制造业、建筑业、采矿业和农业。在这些领域的雄心勃勃的教育和研究议程有可能改善我们的人类生活质量。这个研讨会汇集了机器人、自主和网络物理系统领域的顶尖研究人员，讨论潜在的挑战，并编写一份报告，帮助为学术界、政府和工业界未来的教育和研究投资提供信息。
