NSF National Robotics Initiative (NRI) 2018 Principal Investigators Meeting

该奖项将支持2011年发起的国家机器人倡议(NRI)年度首席调查人员(PI)会议的组织。国际和平倡议会议将把积极参与该倡议的社区聚集在一起，就教育、技术转让和一般外联方面的智力挑战和最佳做法提供跨项目协调。这项活动还将建立一个资料库，说明研究所项目探索的研究思路和取得的里程碑。会议计划于2018年10月在华盛顿特区附近举行，为期两天。颁奖形式将包括出席项目最后一年的PI的报告、与所有其他项目的海报会议、主题演讲和小组讨论。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
