I had the opportunity to attend the CCC-sponsored workshop, “A Research Roadmap for Robotics in Manufacturing and Automation“, which took place in Washington, DC on June 17, 2008. Below is a loosely-edited excerpt of the notes I took during the workshop. The intention is to convey a general sense of what happened at this meeting, and how we can apply the lessons of this workshop to other CCC initiatives.

Computing Community Consortium Blog
The goal of the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is to catalyze the computing research community to debate longer range, more audacious research challenges; to build consensus around research visions; to evolve the most promising visions toward clearly defined initiatives; and to work with the funding organizations to move challenges and visions toward funding initiatives. The purpose of this blog is to provide a more immediate, online mechanism for dissemination of visioning concepts and community discussion/debate about them.
