The 2021 NRI/FRR Principal Investigator Meeting

该奖项将支持分别于2011年和2020年启动的国家机器人计划（NRI）和机器人基础研究（FRR）的年度首席研究员（PI）会议的组织。PI会议将汇集活跃的机器人研究人员社区，在教育，技术转让和一般推广方面提供跨项目的智力挑战和最佳实践协调。该活动还将建立一个知识库，说明各种机器人项目所探索的研究思想和取得的里程碑。会议将于2021年3月举行，为期3天，以虚拟方式举行。该形式将包括出席项目的pi在其最后一年的演讲，所有其他项目的海报会议，主题演讲和小组讨论。该奖项旨在组织2021年春季NRI和FRR PI会议。会议促进了机器人研究人员之间的传播和偶然合作。该组织包括研究生和pi的参与。此奖项只适用于会议组织。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值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) and Foundational Research in Robotics (FRR), which were launched in 2011 and 2020 respectively. The PI meeting will bring together the community of active robotics researchers 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 various robotics projects. The meeting is planned for three days in March of 2021, to be held virtually. 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 spring 2021 NRI and FRR PI meeting. The meeting promotes dissemination and serendipitous collaboration amongst robotics researchers. The organization includes participation for graduate students as well as PIs. This award is for the meeting organization only.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.
