The 2016 Contextual Robotics Forum took place October 28, 2016. It was a day focused on the future of robotics and shared autonomy. Below, please find a link to the updated national robotics roadmap, which Henrik Christensen, Director of the UC San Diego Contextual Robotics Institute, mentioned in his talk. The roadmap offers a summary of the main societal opportunities that were identified; the associated challenges; and a presentation of efforts that would ensure the U.S. continues to lead in robotics research innovation, and adoption of both technology and policy frameworks.
