“A Research Roadmap for Emerging Technologies and Trends”
August 14-15, 2008
Snowbird, UT
Co-Chairs:
John Hollerbach, University of Utah
Matt Mason, Carnegie Mellon University
Henrik Christensen, Georgia Tech
Introduction
This one-and-a-half-day CRA/CCC sponsored workshop will (1) identify a focused set of major US research goals for Emerging Technologies and Trends, and (2) develop a roadmap for achieving these research goals in the coming decade. The workshop will include US leaders in academia, industry, and government. Although the US robotics research community is highly diversified, analogous efforts in Europe and Japan to reach consensus and develop unified research roadmaps for their regions have been extremely successful in creating new partnerships and attracting major research funding. Results of this workshop will be presented to US government agencies.
