Greetings Engineers,

Any interest in robotics?

The NIH has information up on the National Robotics Initiative (NRI), a multi-agency endeavor focused on: “the development of the next generation of robotics, particularly co-robotics, and encourage existing and new communities to focus on innovative application areas. Collaboration between academic, industry, non-profit and other organizations is strongly encouraged to establish better linkages between fundamental science and technology development and use. NIH areas of interest include, but are not limited to, robotics for home care; personalized care for special needs populations and robotic wellness/health promotion; robot-assisted recovery; rehabilitation and behavioral therapy; surgical and interventional robots; and high-throughput robotic technologies.”

The first deadline is in December 2012.

As always, feel free to contact us with questions, we look forward to hearing from you!
