The Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is excited that council member Holly Yanco (Chair, Distinguished University Professor, NERVE Center Director, UMass Lowell), and former council members Melanie Moses (Professor, University of New Mexico) and Chad Jenkins (Professor, Robotics, University of Michigan) were exhibitors at the Senate Robotics and Demo Day. They were among exhibitors across industry, academia, and government. The Computing Research Association (CRA), in collaboration with co-hosts IEEE-USA and Carnegie Mellon University, was pleased to host Members of Congress, the media, and the public in the Hart Senate Office Building on April 30.  Through interactive exhibits and informal discussions, attendees gained insight into the current state of US robotics innovation […]

The US National Robotics Roadmap was first created 14 years ago. It has since been used by government agencies, universities and companies as a reference about where robotics is going. The first roadmap was published 2009, then revised 2013, 2016 and 2020. The objective is to publish the 5th version of the roadmap by spring 2024. Due to major changes in the world and the robotics landscape, the CCC published a Mid-Cycle Update to the US National Robotics Roadmap this past April. The objective is to engage about 150–200 people from academia and industry to ensure that the roadmap is representative of the community’s view of where robotics is going. […]

In honor of National Robotics Week, the Computing Community Consortium is releasing a mid-cycle update to the US National Robotics Roadmap. The US National Robotics Roadmap is updated every four years. Since the last update in September 2020, the world has changed significantly. The COVID pandemic has slowed, there is another administration in Washington, the National Robotics Initiative has officially ended, and the political climate for international trade is constantly changing. Given all these aspects, the Computing Community Consortium (CCC) is publishing a minor revision of the roadmap before the next regular update in 2024. In November, the CCC published a call for contributions and input from the community. In […]

A reminder that white papers for a mid-cycle update to the Robotics Roadmap are due January 9, 2023. Through support from the Computing Community Consortium (CCC), the US National Robotics Roadmap was first created thirteen years ago by a group of 120 people from industry and academia. It has since been used by government agencies, universities and companies as a reference and call to action from the robotics community. The first roadmap was published in 2009, then revised in 2013, 2016, and 2020. Our objective is to develop a short mid-cycle update, identifying gaps that are not being addressed in current research, in funding opportunities, at companies, and in the government, which need to be addressed […]

To meet this objective, we […]
