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年国家科学基金会(NSF)国家机器人倡议(NRI)/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计划自2011年NRI计划开始和FRR计划于2020年开始以来的第九次有效奖励调查。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。这次会议是一次会议，聚集了机器人研究人员社区，他们的工作与NRI和FRR计划特别相关。议程包括精选项目的演讲、海报会议、研讨会、小组讨论、多个主旨演讲、以多样性为重点的活动，以及来自研究社区领导人的联邦机构计划更新。这次会议还将支持一批潜在的未来FRR计划的提出者的参与。NRI/FRR PI会议促进了研究想法的传播和机器人研究人员之间的合作。该奖项是为会议组织者颁发的。一年一度的PI会议是NSF FRR和NRI研究社区的全国性活动，是调查人员有机会会面和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以及与对NSF机器人研究感兴趣的联邦机构代表、行业和其他利益相关者互动的年度论坛。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并作为未来的提出者、过渡合作伙伴或赞助者参与的研究人员聚集在一起。此次会议的受邀者将包括所有拥有NRI/FRR积极授权的个人投资者。这一奖项反映了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 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.
