The fields of robotics and cyber-physical systems are economically important to the United States but are expanding all over the world. Nearly every federal agency has a research program covering these areas as they impact the efficiency and productivity of American workers and American businesses in diverse fields from healthcare to manufacturing to agriculture. While American innovation created much of the core inventions of these industries and historically has driven the bulk of their expansion, there is a need for increased collaboration between American scientists and their foreign counterparts to stay abreast of these important fields. In early 2022 the US National Science Foundation (NSF) and Indian Department of Science and Technology (DST) with the Indian Technology Innovation Hubs (TIH) announced an agreement to co-fund collaborative projects in the broad area of robotics and cyber-physical systems. The goals of this proposed NSF/TIH PI meeting and workshop is to discuss the scientific results of these projects and to explore ways to improve foreign collaboration and technology transfer.The 2-day workshop on May 22-23, 2023, in Baltimore will discuss and evaluate the success of the thirty-five individual projects and highlight the potential benefits of remote international collaboration. An Industry Day will be the part of the program to spur innovation and dissemination of ideas into other applications and research fields and to spark commercialization of new developments. The meeting will explore problems and opportunities that these new collaborations developed and will disseminate key ingredients for enhanced success to all participants. The workshop will advise and instruct participants on leveraging collaborations for mutual benefit and will provide professional development for participating students, postdoctoral fellows. and junior faculty. Finally, the workshop will introduce the results of the projects to the institutions of higher education, global industry observers and federal agencies and provide a blueprint for moving forward with new initiatives.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.

机器人技术和网络物理系统的领域在经济上对美国很重要，但在世界各地都在扩展。几乎每个联邦机构都有一项研究计划，涵盖了这些领域，因为它们会影响从医疗保健到制造业到农业的各个领域的美国工人和美国业务的效率和生产力。尽管美国创新创造了这些行业的大部分核心发明，并且从历史上讲，它们驱动了大部分扩张，但我们需要增加美国科学家与外国同行之间的合作，以保持与这些重要领域的同步。 2022年初，美国国家科学基金会（NSF）和印度科学技术部（DST）与印度技术创新中心（TIH）宣布了一项协议，旨在在机器人和网络物理系统广泛领域共同基金合作项目。这项拟议的NSF/TIH PI会议和研讨会的目标是讨论这些项目的科学结果，并探索改善外国协作和技术转移的方法。巴尔的摩的2天讲习班将在巴尔的摩进行讨论并评估35个个人项目的成功，并突出远程国际协作的潜在利益。行业日将成为该计划的一部分，以刺激创新和将思想传播到其他应用和研究领域，并引发新发展的商业化。该会议将探讨这些新合作发展的问题和机遇，并将传播关键要素，以增强所有参与者的成功。该研讨会将为参与者提供建议并指导参与者的合作，以寻求互惠互利，并将为参与的学生，博士后研究员提供专业发展。和初级教师。最后，研讨会将向高等教育，全球行业观察家和联邦机构的机构介绍项目结果，并为前进的新倡议提供了蓝图。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力和更广泛影响的评估来通过评估来获得支持的人。
