Description
The
goal of the National Robotics Initiative is to accelerate the development and
use of robots in the United States that work beside or cooperatively with
people. Innovative robotics research and applications emphasizing the
realization of such co-robots working in symbiotic relationships with human
partners is supported by multiple agencies of the federal government
including the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA), the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and the
U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). The purpose of this program is to support the
development of this next generation of robotics, to advance the capability and
usability of such systems and artifacts, and to encourage existing and new
communities to focus on innovative application areas. It will address the
entire lifecycle from fundamental research and development to manufacturing and
deployment. Only one class of proposals will be considered in response to this
solicitation; there will not be separate competitions for small, medium, and
large proposals.
