America's Seed Fund (SBIR/STTR) - Robotics (R) Topic is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). This NSF SBIR/STTR topic focuses on robot intelligence and experiential learning, specifically in high-performance processors or hardware that provide situational awareness and improved artificial intelligence. It encourages innovations in voice, obstacle and image recognition, emotional response, and hand-eye coordination. Proposals that borrow features from animal nervous systems and include biologists, neuroscientists, and psychologists are also encouraged. The program also seeks proposals for next-generation automation, flexible assembly lines for mass customization, advanced control with agile robotic systems, and applications supporting individuals with disabilities, healthcare, smart drones, and personal robots.
