The 2021 NRI/FRR Principal Investigator Meeting

该奖项将支持分别于2011年和2020年发起的国家机器人倡议(NRI)和机器人基础研究(FRR)年度首席调查人员(PI)会议的组织。国际机器人协会会议将把活跃的机器人研究人员聚集在一起，就教育、技术转让和一般外联方面的智力挑战和最佳做法提供跨项目协调。这项活动还将建立一个资料库，说明各种机器人项目探索的研究思路和取得的里程碑。会议计划于2021年3月举行，为期三天，虚拟举行。该形式将包括出席项目最后一年的私人投资总监的演讲、与所有其他项目的海报会议、主题演讲和小组讨论。该奖项是为了组织2021年春季NRI和FRR PI会议。这次会议促进了机器人研究人员之间的传播和偶然的合作。该组织包括研究生和个人投资者的参与。该奖项仅适用于会议组织。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。

This award will support the organization of the annual Principal Investigators (PI) meeting for the National Robotics Initiative (NRI) and Foundational Research in Robotics (FRR), which were launched in 2011 and 2020 respectively. The PI meeting will bring together the community of active robotics researchers to provide cross-project coordination of intellectual challenges and best practices in education, technology transfer and general outreach. This activity will also establish a repository illustrating the research ideas explored and milestones achieved by the various robotics projects. The meeting is planned for three days in March of 2021, to be held virtually. The format will include presentations by the attending PIs of projects in their final year, a poster session with all other projects, keynote speeches, and panel discussions. This award is to organize the spring 2021 NRI and FRR PI meeting. The meeting promotes dissemination and serendipitous collaboration amongst robotics researchers. The organization includes participation for graduate students as well as PIs. This award is for the meeting organization only.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.
