该奖项将支持2011年启动的国家机器人计划（NRI）年度主要研究者（PI）会议的组织。PI会议将汇集积极的NRI参与者社区，以提供知识挑战和教育，技术转让和一般推广方面的最佳实践的跨项目协调。 这项活动还将建立一个知识库，说明NRI项目探索的研究思路和取得的里程碑。会议计划于2018年10月在华盛顿附近举行，为期两天。该奖项的形式将包括由参加项目的PI在他们的最后一年，海报会议与所有其他项目，主题演讲，和小组讨论。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准的支持。

This award will support the organization of the annual Principal Investigators (PI) meeting for the National Robotics Initiative (NRI), which was launched in 2011. The PI meeting will bring together the community of active NRI participants to provide cross-project coordination of intellectual challenges and best practices in education, technology transfer and general outreach. This activity will also establish a repository illustrating the research ideas explored and milestones achieved by the NRI projects. The meeting is planned for two days in October 2018 in the vicinity of Washington DC. The format will include presentations by the attending PIs of projects in their final year, a poster session with all other projects, keynote speeches, and panel discussions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
