National Robotics Initiative 3.0: Systems Integration and Demonstration of Advanced Robotics Technologies for the Manufacturing Industry (Discontinued)

NSF National Robotics Initiative 3.0 is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF). The National Robotics Initiative 3. 0 (NRI-3. 0) supports fundamental research advancing the science of robot integration in the United States. It is backed by a multi-agency coalition including NSF, USDA, NASA, Department of Transportation, NIH, and NIOSH.

National Robotics Initiative 3.0: Innovations in Integration of Robotics is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF), in partnership with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Institutes of Health, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, United States Department of Agriculture, and Department of Energy. This initiative supports research to develop and apply robotics to address important societal needs. While broad, it often includes educational applications and can be highly relevant for developing innovative robotics curricula or tools like Sphero in educational settings.

National Robotics Initiative 3.0 (NRI-3.0): Innovations in Integration of Robotics is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF) in partnership with NASA, NIH, NIOSH, and USDA. This program supports fundamental research in the United States to advance the science of robot integration, focusing on co-robots that work cooperatively with people. It encourages collaboration between academic, industry, non-profit, and other organizations. Robotics efforts address USDA strategic goals related to automation in plant and animal production and protection, particularly for fruit and vegetable production, and precision livestock farming.
