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.
