200-word Description: This full-day in-person community-building workshop envision the following research infrastructure: 12-to-20 full-sized humanoids that would be distributed to research clusters across the United States. The humanoid would serve as a common platform for AI-based testing across a broad range of computer and information science and engineering (CISE) disciplines. It leverages an NSF Community Infrastructure for Research in Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CIRC) Planning Grant. The grant serves to draft 3 Task Force (TF) reports by early Spring 2025. These reports will capture technical design requirements identified by the broad and diverse CISE community on what’s needed from such a humanoid research platform in terms of: electro-mechanical design; software architecture and control; and mixed-reality and data-driven applications. Notionally, academic labs need a full-sized humanoid that is affordable ($50K-$100K USD), durable (survive 1000s of motion trials), serviceable (by any user) and customizable (with different hardware and software). This workshop attracts an international audience who seek to also petition their funding agencies in Europe and Asia. The net effect will converge the current state-of-the-art from industry with research agendas that advance the next decade of humanoid research
