2003 Annual Portfolio Review
The Sensors and Automation (S&A) Crosscutting Program conducted its FY2003 Annual Review Meeting on June 3-4, 2003, in San Francisco, California. The meeting featured presentations on six core S&A projects, as well as two presentations and a poster session by researchers with other Industrial Technologies Programs (ITP). In addition, the agenda included a presentation/discussion by S&A study leads on future program directions in advanced controls, information processing, automation, and industrial robotics. The meeting also featured eight presentations on related Small Business Innovative Research projects.
