2023 Foundational Research in Robotics (FRR) - National Robotics Initiative (NRI) Principal Investigators’ (PI) Meeting; Arlington, Virginia; 1-3 May 2023

该项目的目的是计划，组织和执行2023年国家科学基金会（NSF）机器人基础研究-国家机器人计划（NRI）和机器人基础研究（FRR）首席研究员（PI）会议。本次会议将召集NSF FRR和NRI计划自2011年NRI计划开始以来的第八次积极奖励的所有PI。PI会议定于2023年春季在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行。该计划的议程是社区驱动的，其特点是项目会谈，海报会议，并从研究人员，过去一年的计划活动，专题研讨会，小组讨论，主题演讲报告的“现场”演示，以及来自研究界领导人的联邦机构计划更新。本次为期两天的会议将是自2020年COVID-19大流行以来第一次完整的面对面PI会议。年度PI会议将是NSF FRR和NRI研究界的一项重大全国性活动，并作为年度论坛，主要研究者将有机会会面并分享他们的研究和最佳实践;讨论新的研究机会，成功和挑战;并探索新的想法和伙伴关系;并与联邦机构代表，行业和其他利益相关者在NSF机器人研究和开发的既得利益。NSF机器人PI会议在广泛的机器人主题，部门和技术的社区建设中发挥了重要作用，并促进了教育，技术转让和外展方面的最佳实践，以了解该计划并参与未来提案者，过渡合作伙伴，该奖项反映了NSF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。

The purpose of this project is to plan, organize, and execute the 2023 National Science Foundation (NSF) Foundational Research in Robotics-National Robotics Initiative (NRI) and the Foundational Research in Robotics (FRR) Principal Investigator (PI) Meeting. This meeting will convene all PIs of active awards of the NSF FRR and NRI Programs for the eighth time since the NRI Program began in 2011. The PI Meeting is scheduled for the Spring of 2023 in Arlington, Virginia. The program agenda is community-driven and features project talks, poster sessions, and “live” demonstrations from researchers, reports of past year program activities, special topic workshops, panel discussions, keynote talks, and Federal agency program updates from leaders in the research community. This two-day meeting will be the first full in-person PI meeting since the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic.The annual PI Meeting will be a major national event for the NSF FRR and NRI research communities and serves as an annual forum where Principal Investigators will have opportunities to meet and share their research and best practices; discuss new research opportunities, successes, and challenges; and explore new ideas and partnerships; and to interact with Federal agency representatives, industry, and other stakeholders with vested interests in NSF robotics research and development. NSF Robotics PI Meetings have played a major role in community-building across a broad range of robotics topics, sectors, and technologies and with promoting best practices in education, technology transfer, and outreach to others who have interest in learning about the program and participating as future proposers, transition partners, or sponsors.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.
