Support for Graduate Student Participation in Various Workshops at Robotics: Science and Systems 2006

作为Robotics：Science and Systems大会的一部分，NSF支持的研讨会将集中讨论以人为本的机器人技术，包括康复、外骨骼和假肢、人与机器人的互动、在人类环境中操纵的机器人以及社会辅助机器人技术。以人为本的机器人学的广度很大，对于将机器人技术可行地转移到真实的人类应用程序以及理解两者之间相互作用的科学变得越来越重要。研讨会将汇聚这些相关领域的大量研究人员。NSF的支持将使学生能够参加这些研讨会，学习这些不断增长的领域的问题，并将他们培训为研究人员。机器人：科学与系统是一个新的会议，聚集了致力于机器人、机器人应用和机器人系统分析的算法或数学基础的研究人员。

The workshops supported by NSF as part of the Robotics: Science and Systems conference will focus on human-oriented robotics including rehabilitation, exoskeleton and prosthetics, human-robot interaction, robots manipulating in human environments, and socially assistive robotics. The breadth of human-oriented robotics is large, and is becoming more important for the viable transfer of robot technology to real human applications as well as understanding the science of the interaction between the two. The workshops will bring together a large number of researchers in these related fields. The NSF support will enable students to attend these workshops, learning issues in these growing fields and training them to be researchers. Robotics: Science and Systems is a new conference that brings together researchers working on algorithmic or mathematical foundations of robotics, robotics applications, and analysis of robotic systems.
