NSF 2024 NRI/FRR PI Meeting; Baltimore, Maryland; 28-30 April 2024

该项目的目的是组织和执行2024年美国国家科学基金会（NSF）国家机器人计划(NRI)/机器人基础研究（FRR）首席研究员（PI）会议。本次会议将召开自2011年NRI计划启动和2020年FRR计划启动以来第九次对NSF FRR和NRI计划的积极奖励进行调查。PI会议定于2024年4月28日至30日在马里兰州巴尔的摩举行。这次会议作为一个会议，汇集了机器人研究人员的社区，他们的工作与NRI和FRR计划特别相关。会议议程包括选定项目的演讲、海报会议、研讨会、小组讨论、多个主题演讲、一个以多样性为重点的活动，以及来自研究界领导人的联邦机构项目更新。本次会议还将支持一批潜在的FRR项目未来提案人的参与。NRI/FRR PI会议促进了机器人研究人员之间的研究思想和合作的传播。这个奖是给会议组织的。年度PI会议是NSF FRR和NRI研究社区的全国性活动，并作为年度论坛，研究人员有机会见面并分享他们的研究和最佳实践，讨论新的研究机会，探索新的想法和合作伙伴关系，并与联邦机构代表，行业和其他对NSF机器人研究感兴趣的利益相关者进行互动。NSF 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，并将有兴趣了解该计划的研究人员聚集在一起，并作为未来的提议者、过渡合作伙伴或赞助商参与其中。被邀请参加会议的将包括，除其他外，所有拥有活跃的NRI/FRR奖助金的pi。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。

The purpose of this project is to organize and execute the 2024 National Science Foundation (NSF) National Robotics Initiative (NRI)/Foundational Research in Robotics (FRR) Principal Investigator (PI) Meeting. This meeting will convene investigatord of active awards of the NSF FRR and NRI Programs for the ninth time since the NRI Program began in 2011 and the FRR program began in 2020. The PI meeting is scheduled for 28-30 April 2024 in Baltimore, Maryland. This meeting serves as a conference bringing together a community of robotics researchers whose work is specifically relevant to the NRI and FRR programs. The agenda includes talks from selected projects, poster sessions, workshops, panel discussions, multiple keynote talks, a diversity-focused event, and Federal agency program updates from leaders in the research community. This meeting will also support participation by a cohort of potential future proposers to the FRR program.The NRI/FRR PI meeting promotes dissemination of research ideas and collaboration amongst robotics researchers. This award is for the meeting organization. The annual PI Meeting is a national event for the NSF FRR and NRI research communities and serves as an annual forum where investigators have opportunities to meet and share their research and best practices, discuss new research opportunities, explore new ideas and partnerships, and interact with Federal agency representatives, industry, and other stakeholders interested in NSF robotics research. NSF PI meetings have played a major role in community-building across a broad range of robotics topics, sectors, and technologies, and serves to bring together researchers who have interest in learning about the program and participating as future proposers, transition partners, or sponsors. Invitees to the meeting will include, among others, all PIs with active NRI/FRR grants.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.
