Annual report dates come from the budget period on your award notice. That date is not public, so it is not shown here.

How we got this date

NSF lists this award's end date as 31 May 2030.
NSF rules say the final report is due no later than 120 days after that.
So the final report is due by 28 September 2030.

Abstract

This grant supports research to enable understanding and design of swarms of string-like soft robots, capable of moving around their environment independently, or of tangling together to operate as a collective. The project seeks to create programs for the individual robots to follow so that, when in their entangled state, they can collectively move in response to external stimuli and transport or manipulate…
