The FRR program supports interdisciplinary foundational research on robotic systems exhibiting computational capability and physical complexity. It funds projects that develop new or significantly improved robot capabilities, addressing fundamental gaps in robotics science. Experimental validation on physical platforms is encouraged. Proposals must focus on robots as defined and contribute directly to robotics science.
Open to any type of entity without specific restrictions. Potential applicants are encouraged to consult with a program officer before submission to ensure compliance.
