Robotic Technology Kernel (RTK) Development Forum

NAMC and the Government will be co-hosting this year’s Robotic Technology Kernel (RTK) Development Forum on 14-16 March at Macomb Community College’s South Campus in Warren, MI.

In addition to the usual technical sessions, this year’s Forum will include time for an open exchange on the current state of RTK and discussion on the potential for Industry having a greater voice in the future direction of RTK.

The tentative agenda includes:

March 14

• Technical presentations, updates, and sessions on
  • RTK framework (architecture and interfaces)
  • RTK foundation (e.g. core, baseline software modules)
  • Third party applications and modules
  • Other elements that collectively comprise the RTK ecosystem

March 15 and 16

• Government leadership’s perspective on a potential RTK public/private partnership
• Consolidated results of the RTK Survey (see below)
• Break-out sessions and discussion groups on specific topics related to the potential partnership
• Confidential one-on-one sessions with the Government and/or NAMC based on availability

NAMC greatly appreciates the opportunity to partner with GVSC on this year’s RTK Development Forum and we hope to see you there!
