NRI PI Meeting 2014- Workshop

该奖项的目的是组织国家机器人计划（NRI）的年度首席研究员会议。NRI于2011年夏天启动，显然需要将获奖项目的研究人员聚集在一起，在共同的智力挑战、教育和培训方法、结果过渡方面的最佳实践以及更广泛传播项目状态、活动和结果的机会方面提供跨项目协调。会议将在华盛顿特区附近举行为期两天的会议，这将扩大对其他政府机构的影响，因为成员将被邀请，因为距离很近。会议将包括NRI倡议的所有pi，并邀请DC机器人相关项目的所有项目经理以及机器人- vo（虚拟组织）的组织者。最后，会议安排在2014年秋季举行，允许NRI项目的前三个队列参加，允许主题和想法的交叉施肥。

The objective of this award is to organize the annual principal investigator meeting for the National Robotics Initiative (NRI). The NRI was launched in the summer of 2011 and there is a clear need to bring together the researchers of the awarded projects to provide cross-project coordination in terms of common intellectual challenges, methods for education and training, best practice in terms of transition of results and opportunities for broader dissemination of project status, activities and results. The meeting will be organized as a two-day meeting in the vicinity of Washington DC which broadens the impact to other governmental agencies, as members will be invited due to proximity. The meeting will include all the PIs for the NRI initiative, and invitations to all the program managers for robotics related programs in DC in addition to organizers of the Robotics-VO (Virtual Organization). Finally, the meeting is organized to take place during fall of 2014 to allow the first three cohorts of NRI projects to participate, allowing cross-fertilization of topics and ideas.
