National Robotics Initiative (NRI) PI Meeting 2020 Technical Program Organization

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2020年2月在华盛顿特区附近举行，为期两天。该奖项将包括参加项目最后一年的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。此奖项用于组织下一届NRI PI会议。这次会议促进了NRI研究人员之间的传播和偶然的合作。该组织包括研究生的参与和BPC招聘活动以及个人投资活动。该奖项仅适用于会议组织者。会议后勤和设施租赁由一个单独的奖项处理。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。

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 February of 2020 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 is to organize the next NRI PI meeting.
