The National Robotics Initiative (NRI) Principal Investigator meeting showcased an amazing collection of new ideas and technologies developed by over 200 of the top researchers in the field Oct. 1-2 in Washington. The NRI program, which was the direct result of a Computing Community Consortium (CCC) roadmapping effort led by Henrik Christensen of Georgia Tech, is a broad multi-year, multi-agency initiative to develop “Collaborative Systems” that augment, assist, or amplify human capabilities in a wide range of areas. The technologies and applications covered were breathtaking in scope and frame interesting and compelling questions for Co-workers, Co-inhabitants, or Co-protectors; for example: How to combine automated observation with human sampling to produce […]
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.
