"Robotics and Automation Testbeds for Autonomous Scientific Discovery" is currently closed and not accepting applications.
Robotics and Automation Testbeds for Autonomous Scientific Discovery is sponsored by DOE Office of Science, Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR). This program seeks DOE National Laboratory-led research portfolios that advance robotics and automation testbeds to accelerate scientific discovery.
It focuses on single-faceted, computer-science-driven thrusts that integrate embodied robotics with advanced computing, including edge and high-performance computing (HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), and scientific instruments. The goal is to establish reusable, interoperable testbed infrastructure for embodied robotics and automation, enabling rapid integration, safe experimentation, and objective evaluation in laboratory settings.
The term "open-source" is understood broadly to encompass any arrangement furthering openness.
