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-国家机器人倡议(NRI)和机器人基础研究(FRR)首席研究员(PI)会议。本次会议将召开NSF FRR和NRI计划有效奖项的所有PI，这是自NRI计划于2011年开始以来的第八次。PI会议定于2023年春季在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿举行。该计划的议程是由社区驱动的，包括研究人员的项目演讲、海报会议和“现场”演示、过去一年计划活动的报告、专题研讨会、小组讨论、主题演讲和来自研究社区领导人的联邦机构计划更新。这次为期两天的会议将是自2020年新冠肺炎大混乱以来的第一次完整的面对面PI会议。一年一度的PI会议将是NSF FRR和NRI研究界的一项重大国家活动，也是一个年度论坛，首席调查人员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；并探索新的想法和合作伙伴关系；以及与联邦机构代表、行业和其他在NSF机器人研发方面有既得利益的利益相关者互动。NSF Robotics 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，并在教育、技术转让和向其他有兴趣了解该计划的人推广最佳实践以及作为未来的提倡者、过渡合作伙伴或赞助者参与方面发挥了重要作用。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 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.
