DARPA Robotics Fast Track

DARPA wants to pay you $150,000 to build your robot

Find out how over lunch Dec. 17 from noon to 2 p.m. at the Microsoft New England Research and Development Center (NERD) in Cambridge.

The Pentagon’s leading advanced research lab has started the Robotics Fast Track Program to make it easier for roboticists and entrepreneurs to get their projects funded, and they’re looking for talented minds to participate.

Join DARPA Program Manager Mark Micire to learn more about the program, and in particular, how the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA) is offering up to $150,000 per group to build a robot prototype. An informational session will be followed by the opportunity for individuals and groups to meet Mark privately to answer specific questions about individual projects.

Whether you’re a roboticist, technologist, or entrepreneur, you’ll want to join us for this rare opportunity. Sign-up for the one-on-one meetings will be first come, first served. Spots will be limited so the sooner you arrive the better chance you’ll be first on the list.

Food and drinks will be provided at this FREE event, so no need to stop for dinner on your way from work.
