National Science Foundation
1 reportThe National Science Foundation is an independent U.S. federal agency that funds research and education across most nonmedical fields of science and engineering. It supports investigator-led grants, research infrastructure, major facilities, training programs, and national data on the scientific workforce.
The evidence base around National Science Foundation is examined through merit-review processes, together with competitive research grants and major scientific facilities. Reporting on merit-review processes draws on award records and is then checked against facility outputs; confidence is limited by the fact that funding decisions indicate support for a proposal rather than confirmation of its eventual findings.

AI agents build complex 3D training worlds for robot learning
Researchers at MIT and Toyota Research Institute have developed SceneSmith, a system that uses collaborative AI agents and vision-language models to generate detailed 3D environments for robotics simulation and training
