The international Advanced Robotics Project (IARP) is an international organization,consisting of fourteen countries and the European Union, devoted to monitoring andpromoting robotics related technology and utilization. The United States helped toformulate this organization and has been an active member participating in technologyevaluations, workshops, and joint study missions. Participation involves US technicalexperts traveling to various functions, and interacting with their colleagues to discussongoing research and developing technology relating to intelligent machines. This grantprovides the mechanism to insure that the selection process and procedure for selectingparticipants is fair, efficient, organizationally viable.OBJECTIVES AND METHODS TO BE EMPLOYEDSince the IARP meetings are generally technology specific, the selection of USparticipants must not only reflect the person's expertise but also his or hers ability tocommunicate and interact with other participants. The selection process will beperformed by an ad hoc committee drawn from the IEEE, Robotics and AutomationSociety. The traveler will receive reimbursement for expense but an honorarium willonly be provided in exceptional circumstances. This rule also applies to attendance at theIARP, Joint Coordinating Forum (JCF) which is the management, planning, and policyplanning body. The representatives of member and observer countries attend this meetingin one of the host countries. A detailed description of the host country's robotics programis an essential part of the agenda.INTELLECTUAL MERIT OF THE PROPOSAL ACTIVITYSince NSF is the US representative to the IARP it is necessary to seek the best, andmost appropriate researchers to contribute to the intellectual output of the meetings. Thisis a difficult and challenging task because the subjects under discussion at the Workshopsand the JCF require participation by a variety of individuals who are knowledgeable ofthe specific technology. Their intellectual contribution is critical to the success of theevent and the ability of the outcome to advance the technology. In the past, contributorshave made excellent contributions, but a need now exists to help NSF to select newpeople in a fair minded and knowledgeable manner. The Robotics and AutomationSociety, representing 6000 members, is a logical choice to perform this selection by usingsenior, experienced, and knowledgeable decision makers.BROADER IMPACT RESULTING FROM PROPOSED ACTIVITYThe technical areas that the IARP deals with include medical robotics, personalrobotics, undersea robotic vehicles, and others having a direct societal impact. Recentlynew Working Groups have been formed to consider safety and security technology andother applications that are central to society needs. The quality of the United Statesparticipation is essential to enhancing these Working Groups so that their deliberationsand results will help to promote the advanced concepts needed for success. The impact ofthis contribution cannot be underestimated.

国际高级机器人项目（IARP）是一个国际组织，由十四个国家和欧盟组成，致力于监视和推广机器人技术相关的技术和利用。美国帮助该组织有帮助，并且是参加技术评估，研讨会和联合学习任务的积极成员。参与涉及我们的技术专家，并与他们的同事互动以讨论与智能机器有关的研究和开发技术。这种授予提供了确保选择参与者的选择过程和程序是公平，高效，在组织上可行的。目标和方法通常是特定于技术的，因此，USPARTIPANT的选择不仅必须反映出人的专业知识，而且还必须反映他或她的能力，以使其与其他参与者进行交互。选择过程将由IEEE，机器人技术和自动化社会的临时委员会欺骗。旅行者将获得支出的报销，但在特殊情况下提供酬金。该规则还适用于在管理，计划和政策计划机构的Theiarp，联合协调论坛（JCF）的出席率上。成员和观察家国家的代表参加了本届东道国之一的会议。对东道国的机器人计划的详细描述是议程的重要组成部分。提案活动的智能值得NSF的智能优点是美国IARP的代表，有必要寻求最好的，最合适的研究人员来为会议的智力成果做出贡献。这是一项艰巨而充满挑战的任务，因为在研讨会上讨论的主题和JCF要求的各种知识渊博的人都需要参与。他们的智力贡献对于Theevent的成功以及结果推进技术的能力至关重要。过去，Docrutorshave做出了很好的贡献，但是现在有必要帮助NSF以公平和知识渊博的方式选择Newpeople。代表6000名成员的机器人技术和自动化社会是通过Usingsenior，经验丰富且知识渊博的决策者进行此选择的逻辑选择。由IARP与IARP所涉及的技术领域所造成的影响者的影响，包括医疗机器人，个人身份，包括个人化机器人，底漆机器人汽车以及其他具有直接社会影响的活动。最近，已经成立了新工作组，以考虑安全和保障技术以及其他对社会需求核心的应用程序。美国参与的质量对于增强这些工作组至关重要，因此他们的审议结果将有助于促进成功所需的先进概念。这种贡献的影响不可低估。
