MII Planning Proposal: Center for Perceptual Robotics at the City College of New York

CNS-0424539MII规划提案：纽约城市学院感知机器人中心。该项目计划在纽约城市学院建立感知机器人中心。其目标是使CCNY成为机器人和计算机视觉领域少数民族教育的卓越前沿研究中心和全国城市典范。规划任务包括：1)促进教师之间在感知机器人方面的合作研究；2)开设新课程和外展活动，吸引和留住少数民族本科生，为他们接受研究生教育做好准备；3)研究提高教师参与师徒活动的方法；4)制定包含研究成果指标和教育效果指标的评价方案；5)组织咨询委员会。该项目包括与纽约- lsamp（路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟）计划和纽约科学院暑期研究培训计划（SRTP）的合作。特别是，该中心将作为SRTP项目高中实习生的研究培训场所，并将向LSAMP学者提供指导研究经验。规划项目支持访问领先的研究机构以及具有成功信息产业部实施模式的机构。其他的策划活动包括在CCNY推出机器人和计算机视觉系列讲座，改革高级顶点设计课程，成立学生机器人俱乐部，以及让学生参加国际机器人设计比赛。

CNS-0424539MII Planning Proposal: Center for perceptual robotics at the City College of New York.This project is planning for the establishment of the Perceptual Robotics Center at the City College of New York. The aims are to make CCNY a center of excellence in cutting-edge research and a national urban model for minority education in the fields of robotics and computer vision. The planning tasks include: 1) fostering collaborative research in perceptual robotics among faculty members; 2) introducing new courses and outreach activities to attract and retain minority undergraduates and to prepare them for graduate education; 3) studying methods to enhance faculty involvement in mentoring activities; 4) developing an evaluation plan with research achievement metrics and educational effectiveness metrics; and 5) organizing an advisory committee. The project includes cooperation with the NYC-LSAMP (Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation) program and New York Academy of Sciences Summer Research Training Program (SRTP). In particular, the center will serve as a research-training site for high school interns in the SRTP program and will provide mentored research experiences to LSAMP scholars. The planning project supports visits to leading research institutions as well as institutions with successful MII implementation models. Other planning activities include the launch of a robotics and computer vision lecture series at CCNY, the reform of senior capstone design courses, the initiation of a student robotics club, and the participation of students in international robotics design competitions.
