2005 PI Demo Workshop; September 16, 2005; Arlington, VA

传感、控制、高性能计算和通信方面的快速和巨大进步导致了机器人技术潜在应用的爆炸式增长，机器人技术是研究具有传感、智能和移动性的机器。这些新的应用提出了一系列令人兴奋的基本挑战，这些挑战将塑造机器人技术的研究议程和技术发展。这个项目寻求资金来举办一个重大成就的展示，这将是一个向科学同行和新闻媒体阐明社区成就的机会。它的时间恰逢一项由美国国家科学基金会部分赞助的全球研究的介绍，该研究评估了国际上最先进的机器人科学、技术和实践。研讨会将确定机器人研究方面的重大成就以及这一新兴产业的增长潜力。2005年PI演示研讨会的目标是将目前由美国国家科学基金会在机器人领域资助的几个PI聚集在一起：1。提出今后研究的基础问题；明确可能取得重大突破的领域；并确定所需的研究计划和设施。展示当前的研究成果和重大成就。为美国国家科学基金会项目官员、其他基金会和资助机构以及行业代表提供一个机会，以了解更多关于由美国国家科学基金会资助的项目当前的研究努力和成功。讲习班将制作示范，这些示范将以联机和其他磁带媒体格式存档。它还将向更广泛的社区（从高中生到普通公众）阐明机器人领域的挑战和成就。PI演示工作坊将促进机器人研究在其他科学和一般社会中的好处。

The rapid and enormous improvements in sensing, control, high-performance computing, and communications have led to an explosion of potential applications of robotics, the study of machines with sensing, intelligence and mobility. These new applications present an exciting array of fundamental challenges that will shape both the research agenda and the technology to be developed in robotics. This project seeks funding to host a demonstration of significant accomplishments, which will be an opportunity to articulate the achievements of the community to scientific peers and the news media. It is timed to coincide with the presentation of a worldwide study partially sponsored by NSF, assessing the state-of-the-art in robotics science, technology and practice, internationally. The workshop will identify the significant accomplishments in robotics research and the potential for growth in this emerging industry.The goal of this 2005 PI Demo Workshop is to bring together several PIs currently funded by the National Science Foundation In the area of robotics to:1. Present the research issues that are fundamental for further progress; specify areas where major breakthroughs appear possible; and identify research initiatives and facilities needed.2. Demonstrate current research results and significant accomplishments.3. Provide an opportunity to NSF program officers, other foundations and funding agencies, and industry representatives to learn more about the current research efforts and successes of projects funded by NSF.The workshop will create demonstrations which will archived in on-line as well as other tape media format. It will also articulate the challenges and achievements of the robotics field to the broader community, which spans high school students to the general public. The PI Demo Workshop will promote the benefits of robotics research in other sciences and the society in general.
