This one-year award will support US participation in a U.S.-U.K. joint workshop on "Cognitive Robots and Control," organized by the PI at Vanderbilt University and by William Harwin at the University of Reading, to be held in Reading, UK, in 2005. Intellectual merit. The field of robotics has evolved independently of cognitive science and neuroscience except for classical artificial intelligence and neural networks. However, most robots lack robustness. One challenge for the robotics community is the realization of cognitive robots through the integration of robotic body and mind that can handle difficult or novel situations. In the effort to understand human cognition and to develop embedded cognitive artifacts, all three fields will benefit by collaboration. The proposed workshop will bring together researchers and students in robotics, philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and computational neuroscience to address the following broad issues: What can the robotics community learn from advances in cognitive science and computational neuroscience to develop the next generation of robots? How can international collaboration in this emerging field be established? What kinds of research topics should be pursued? How can the robotics community contribute to the cognitive science and neuroscience communities?Broader impacts. The workshop will help develop: 1) strengthened partnerships between researchers in the field of robotics, machine consciousness, cognitive science, artificial intelligence (AI), and neuroscience; 2) the development of robots and other cognitive systems capable of responding robustly in novel situations; and 3) test beds for cognitive scientists and neuroscientists to validate their cognitive and learning algorithms and models. By including students and underrepresented groups, the workshop will foster the development of new researchers in this interdisciplinary area.

这项为期一年的奖励将支持美国参加一个由范德比尔特大学PI和雷丁大学William Harwin组织的关于“认知机器人和控制”的美英联合研讨会，该研讨会将于2005年在英国雷丁举行。知识价值。除了经典的人工智能和神经网络之外，机器人领域是独立于认知科学和神经科学发展起来的。然而，大多数机器人缺乏鲁棒性。机器人社区面临的一个挑战是通过集成机器人的身体和思想来实现能够处理困难或新情况的认知机器人。在努力理解人类认知和开发嵌入式认知工件的过程中，所有三个领域都将通过合作而受益。提议的研讨会将汇集机器人、心灵哲学、认知科学和计算神经科学的研究人员和学生，以解决以下广泛的问题：机器人社区可以从认知科学和计算神经科学的进步中学到什么来开发下一代机器人？如何在这一新兴领域建立国际合作？应该追求什么样的研究课题？机器人社区如何为认知科学和神经科学社区做出贡献？更广泛的影响。研讨会将有助于发展：1)加强机器人、机器意识、认知科学、人工智能（AI）和神经科学领域研究人员之间的伙伴关系；2)机器人和其他认知系统的发展，能够在新情况下做出稳健的反应；3)为认知科学家和神经科学家提供测试平台，以验证他们的认知和学习算法和模型。通过包括学生和代表性不足的群体，讲习班将促进这一跨学科领域新研究人员的发展。
