robotics. org for further information Women in Robotics and Elder Care Robots are 2018 Grant Categories | Industrial Robotics , Mobile Robots Today the Robotic Industries Association (RIA) announced the first annual Joseph F. Engelberger Foundation Robotics Grants.
Mr. Engelberger, known as the "Father of Robotics," was recognized throughout the world as the founding force behind industrial robotics. RIA honors his legacy through its annual Joseph F. Engelberger Robotics Awards.
Now, RIA plans to further honor and remember him with annual grants that will be awarded through the Engelberger foundation.

In 2018, the categories are: A $7,500 grant awarded to a company, research organization or university that is working on a useful robotic application for elder care. Women in Service Robotics A $7,500 grant awarded to a woman working in a company, research organization or university focused on developing a service robot application to solve a real world problem.
"Although my father is best known for his development of the industrial robot, he was passionate about creating a service robot that could be used in the home or to help the elderly," according to Gay Engelberger. "The new annual Joseph F. Engelberger Foundation grant is designed to help recognize the great work being done in these areas."
"There is a tremendous amount of innovative and exciting research in the robotics industry, but not all of the work - nor the individuals involved - are being properly recognized," according to Jeff Burnstein, RIA President. "Along with the Engelberger Foundation, it is our hope to shine a light on women working in the service robotics industry and those working on robotic applications for elder care."
Both of these awards will focus on work that is close to commercialization or already commercialized with potential to solve major challenges that impact the usefulness of robotics in elder care and service robotics. More information, award criteria and the online grant applications forms can be found at the Joseph F. Engelberger foundation webpage.
The deadline for submission of nominees for both grants is November 15, 2018, at 5:00 pm EST. Joseph F. Engelberger Foundation Awards Committee will include robotics industry leaders and Gay Engelberger.

An integrated encoder, measuring wheel, and spring-loaded torsion arm in one, compact unit, the Model TR1 is easy to install. The spring-loaded torsion arm offers adjustable torsion load, allowing the Model TR1 to be mounted in almost any orientation - even upside-down. The threaded shaft on the pivot axis is field reversible, providing mounting access from either side.
With operating speeds up to 3000 feet per minute, a wide variety of configuration options - including multiple wheel material options - and a housing made from a durable, conductive composite material that minimizes static buildup, the Model TR1 Tru-Trac® is the ideal solution for countless applications.

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.
