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.

机器人和网络物理系统领域对美国经济很重要，但正在全世界范围内扩展。几乎每个联邦机构都有一个涵盖这些领域的研究计划，因为它们影响着从医疗保健到制造业到农业等各个领域的美国工人和美国企业的效率和生产力。虽然美国的创新创造了这些行业的许多核心发明，并且在历史上推动了这些行业的大部分扩张，但美国科学家和外国同行之间需要加强合作，以跟上这些重要领域的步伐。 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) 宣布达成协议，共同资助机器人和网络物理系统等广泛领域的合作项目。此次拟议的 NSF/TIH PI 会议和研讨会的目标是讨论这些项目的科学成果，并探索改善对外合作和技术转让的方法。 2023 年 5 月 22 日至 23 日在巴尔的摩举行的为期 2 天的研讨会将讨论评估 35 个单独项目的成功，并强调远程国际协作的潜在好处。工业日将成为该计划的一部分，以刺激创新和将想法传播到其他应用和研究领域，并促进新开发的商业化。会议将探讨这些新合作产生的问题和机遇，并向所有参与者传播促进成功的关键要素。该研讨会将为参与者提供如何利用合作实现互惠互利的建议和指导，并为参与的学生、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机构、全球行业观察家和联邦机构介绍项目成果，并为推进新举措提供蓝图。该奖项体现了NSF的法定使命，经评估认为值得支持利用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准。
