Workshop on US/French Cooperative Research in Underwater Vehicles

首席研究员将组织美国参加一个关于水下机器人的美法联合研讨会。讲习班将于1992年5月17日至19日在法国土伦举行。法国的协办方同意在负责海洋相关研究活动的法国机构IFREMER的土伦实验室主办这次会议。15名代表广泛的水下技术经验和研究兴趣的美国参与者将讨论并报告美法联合合作研究的潜在领域。目标将是确定对水下机器人重要的研究领域；作为研究课题有趣；在这方面，法国和美国的利益充分匹配，使研讨会参与者相信实质性的合作是可能的和有益的。这份报告的发表将成为美国研究人员与法国同行提出和启动联合项目的催化剂。

The Principal Investigator will organize U.S. participation in a joint U.S.-French workshop on underwater robotics. The workshop will be held May 17 to 19, 1992, in Toulon, France. The French co-organizers have agreed to host the meeting at the Toulon laboratory of IFREMER, the French Agency responsible for ocean related research activities. Fifteen U.S. participants, selected to represent a wide range of underwater technology experience and research interests, will discuss and report on potential areas for joint U.S.-French collaborative research. The goal will be to identify research areas which are important to underwater robots; interesting as research topics; and in which the French and U.S. interests match sufficiently that the workshop participants believe substantial collaboration would be possible and beneficial. This report will be published in order to form the catalyst for U.S. researchers to propose and initiate joint projects with the French counterparts.
