This award supports the collaboration of Professor Arthur C. Sanderson of the Center for Advanced Technology in Automation, Robotics, and Manufacturing and the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Professor Shin'ichi Yuta, Director of the Intelligent Robot Laboratory, Institute of Information Sciences and Electronics, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Japan. Project funding will enable Dr. Sanderson to spend six months in Japan, resident at the University of Tsukuba, in order to study topics in experimental robotics including multisensor fusion, sensor-based planning, and distributed architectures. Professor Sanderson has previously developed important analytical results and algorithms which enable the design of sensor-based robots and describe their performance in complex environments. Professor Yuta has developed an outstanding laboratory for experimental studies of mobile robots. In this project, Professor Sanderson will combine his expertise with that of Professor Yuta to carry out experiments which demonstrate new capabilities for multirobot cooperation and evaluate these capabilities for new applications. This proposal brings together research scientists from two countries working in the area of robotics research. The U. S. scientist will have the opportunity to become familiar with the extensive experimental facilities and research methods provided by the University of Tsukuba while contributing to the overall research effort. Therefore, this proposal fulfills the objectives of the Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through an international collaboration.

该奖项支持自动化、机器人和制造先进技术中心的Arthur C.Sanderson教授和伦斯勒理工学院电气、计算机和系统工程系与日本筑波大学信息科学和电子研究所智能机器人实验室主任Shin‘ichi Yuta教授的合作。项目资金将使桑德森博士能够在日本筑波大学居住六个月，学习实验机器人领域的课题，包括多传感器融合、基于传感器的规划和分布式架构。桑德森教授之前开发了重要的分析结果和算法，使基于传感器的机器人的设计和描述它们在复杂环境中的性能成为可能。尤塔教授为移动机器人的实验研究建立了一个杰出的实验室。在这个项目中，桑德森教授将结合他的专业知识和Yuta教授的专业知识进行实验，展示多机器人合作的新能力，并评估这些能力用于新的应用。这项提议汇集了两个国家在机器人研究领域工作的研究科学家。这位美国科学家将有机会熟悉筑波大学提供的广泛的实验设施和研究方法，同时为整个研究工作做出贡献。因此，这项建议实现了该计划通过国际合作交流和转让科学知识的目标。
