The National Science Foundation's Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded $509,434 to the University of Connecticut through its Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) on August 1, 2026, for a Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) project titled "Integrated Digital Thread for Self-Evolving Cooperative Robotics Remanufacturing." The project, extending through July 31, 2031, will develop scientific and educational foundations for an autonomous robotic system capable of performing adaptive additive repair operations. The primary products include a self-evolving, memory-augmented planning module that integrates knowledge-based reasoning with physics-informed robotic interaction and continuous environmental adaptation to enable cognitive automation in remanufacturing processes—advancing the field from traditional programmed automation toward intelligent systems capable of managing unique geometries, uncertain damage states, and evolving repair conditions. In addition to research deliverables, the award supports substantial educational and workforce development components at the University of Connecticut's Storrs campus, including curriculum modules, hands-on research opportunities, mentoring programs, summer initiatives with local schools and community colleges, and workforce development activities targeting manufacturers and small businesses. These integrated research and educational outputs address critical workforce shortages in remanufacturing by creating both technical innovations and trained personnel capable of implementing self-evolving robotic systems across emerging repair applications.Federal Grant Award Summary
