罗伯特·卡恩先生是TCP/IP协议的共同发明者。美国国防高技术研发中心主持互联网技术开发的主管。在1972年的世界计算机通信大会上，卡恩先生成功展示了ARPANET 下20多个计算机的相互连接，第一次让人们认识到了数据块网络交换技术的重要性。基于这方面的贡献，罗伯特.卡恩先生与温特·瑟夫先生共同被誉为“世界互联网之父”。
在美国国防高技术研发中心主管信息技术部门期间，卡恩先生发起了十亿美元计算机网络技术的研发，这是有史以来美国政府支持的最大的技术开发项目。这期间，卡恩先生致力于公开网络（open network）平台的研究与开发，并定义了国家信息基础设施（National Information Infrastructure）(NII)，也就是后来大家都知道的信息高速公路（Information Super Highway）。
在1986年，罗伯特.卡恩先生和温特·瑟夫先生一起创立了美国国家研究和促进机构（CNRI），并一直担任总裁和主席。CNRI是一家非赢利性质的研究机构，主要致力于信息系统基础构架方面的研究和开发。
基于他们对于互联网发展的贡献，在1997年，美国总统克林顿给罗伯特·卡恩先生和温特·瑟夫先生颁发了美国国家技术勋章；在2004年，罗伯特·卡恩先生和温特·瑟夫先生一起被授予“阿兰·图灵奖”，该奖项也被称作计算机行业的诺贝尔奖；在2005年，美国总统布什为他们颁发了美国总统奖。
近些年来，罗伯特.卡恩先生一直致力于数字对象体系架构（Digital Object Architecture，简称DOA) 理念的研究和开发。Handle System 是其中重要的组成部分。DOA的理念是提供一套互联网的基础构架，以助于各种信息系统之间信息的共享和安全。2014年，罗伯特.卡恩先生主持成立了DONA FOUNDATION，并担任理事会主席。DONA FOUNDATION是在瑞士注册的非营利性机构。其主要职责之一就是Global Handle Registry（GHR）的注册和管理。GHR是Handle System根服务节点的总称。Handle System 是DOA技术的重要组成部分。
Robert Kahn is the co-inventor of the TCP/IP protocols and was responsible for originating DARPA’s Internet program. Known as one of the “Fathers of the Internet,” Kahn demonstrated the ARPNET by connecting 20 different computers at the International Computer Communication Conference. It was then that people realized the importance of packet switching technology
While Director of Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO) at DARPA, he initiated the United States government's billion dollar Strategic Computing Program, the largest computer research and development program ever undertaken by the federal government. Dr. Kahn conceived the idea of open-architecture networking and coined the term National Information Infrastructure (NII) in the mid 1980s, which later became more widely known as the Information Super Highway.
In 1986 Kahn founded the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), where he remains CEO, and President. CNRI is a not-for-profit organization that provides technical leadership and funds research and development of emerging information infrastructure components.
In December 1997, President Bill Clinton presented the U.S. National Medal of Technology to Kahn and his colleague, Vinton Cerf, for founding and developing the Internet. In 2004, Kahn was the recipient of the ACM Alan M. Turing award (sometimes called the “Nobel Prize of Computer Science”) and in 2005 he was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George Bush.
In his recent work, Dr. Kahn has been developing the concept of a Digital Object Architecture (DOA), with the Handle System as its key component. This notion of DOA is provide a framework for interoperability of heterogeneous information systems. Dr. Kahn also serves as Chair of the Board of Directors for the DONA Foundation, a non-profit organization registered in Switzerland to coordinate the Global Handle Registry (GHR), a key-component of the Digital Object Architecture.
