This National Robotics Initiative grant, supported by federal agencies including NSF, NASA, NIH, and USDA, is for accelerating the development and use of robots that work cooperatively with humans. Its purpose is to advance the capability and usability of next-generation robotics and encourage innovative application areas across the entire life cycle, from fundamental research to industry deployment. The initiative also seeks to integrate robotics into educational curricula and research the social, behavioral, and economic implications of co-robots. Collaboration among academic, industry, and non-profit organizations is strongly encouraged to foster connections between science and technology development, deployment, and use. Proposals are considered for both small and large projects spanning 1 to 5 years.

| 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 acting in direct support of and in a symbiotic relationship 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), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The purpose of this program is 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 life cycle from fundamental research and development to industry manufacturing and deployment. Methods for the establishment and infusion of robotics in educational curricula and research to gain a better understanding of the long term social, behavioral and economic implications of co-robots across all areas of human activity are important parts of this initiative. Collaboration between academic, industry, non-profit and other organizations is strongly encouraged to establish better linkages between fundamental science and technology development, deployment and use.Two classes of proposals will be considered in response to this solicitation:Small projects: One or more investigators spanning 1 to 5 years. Large projects: Multi-disciplinary teams spanning 1 to 5 years. As detailed in the solicitation, appropriate scientific areas of investigations may be related to any of the participating funding organizations. Questions concerning a particular project’s focus, direction and relevance to a participating funding organization should be addressed to the appropriate person in the list of agency contacts found in section VIII of the solicitation. |
