• 关于我们

• The Advisory Committee's Goals
  
  • Increase general awareness of challenges and issues among Members of Congress and policy analysts
  • Educate Members of Congress and congressional staff on current & future research and development, and utilization initiatives
  • 作为论坛，与机器人相关的政策问题可以由国会议员交换，辩论和讨论
  • Ensure that our nation remains globally competitive as the robotics industry expands and further affects the way we live our lives.
  Robots go where it's dirty, dull, or dangerous. They reduce exposure to toxins and perform jobs nobody should, as in pipeline inspections. Robots increase accuracy and reliability on assembly lines and improve speed, producing cheaper mass-produced goods. They reduce risk to the military and First Responders, and go where humans can't.

  2）利用新机器人技术创造就业
  
  From manufacturing to self-driving cars, robotics has made a huge impact as a transformative technology, fostering both innovation and the competitiveness of the United States in the global marketplace. Unfortunately, people have the misperception that robotics – and automation in general – would eliminate jobs instead of create them. This briefing presents a first-hand account of views, opinions, and real-world experiences of experts and practitioners from the industry and academia, to demonstrate how robots are contributing to job growth and sustainability of U.S. industries.

      机器人核心小组很高兴欢迎成员和工作人员在9月14日星期五的午餐简报，聆听NSF，NIH，NASA和USDA的计划董事，讨论了根据国家机器人计划（NRI）授予的最近一轮赠款，即Nation的首个机器人技术的多机构协调研究计划。
      
      Just over one year ago, President Obama announced the National Robotics Initiative (NRI) as part of a broader Advanced Manufacturing Partnership initiative with the ambitious goal of spurring a renaissance in US manufacturing. The NRI received hundreds of applications and will be supporting projects around the country. The stated goals of the NRI are:
      • Increase the productivity of workers in the manufacturing sector;
      • Assist astronauts in dangerous and expensive missions;
      • Help scientists accelerate the discovery of new, life-saving drugs; and
      • 通过快速感测微生物污染来提高食品安全。
      通过吸引美国各地的行业和科学家进行这项以机器人技术为重点的跨部门研究工作，我们正在帮助将电子，数学，计算机和工程领域推向技术发展的关键阈值，成为一个新时代，在一个新时代中，在这个时代中创新的爆炸将改变我们的工作方式，使事物，旅行，提供医疗保健和种植食物，以及我们只能在这场技术革命展开时才能想象的应用。
