Collaborative Research: BPC-A: ARTSI: Advancing Robotics Technology for Societal Impact

斯佩尔曼学院提议与佛罗里达A M大学、哥伦比亚特区大学、汉普顿大学、摩根州立大学、诺福克州立大学、温斯顿-塞勒姆州立大学、阿肯色大学派恩海崖分校、卡内基梅隆大学、格鲁吉亚理工学院、布朗大学、杜克大学、亚拉巴马大学、华盛顿大学和匹兹堡大学合作成立ARTSI（推进机器人技术对社会影响）联盟。这些伙伴中有7个是HBCU，7个是卡内基研究一机构。他们的合作将HBCU在培养学习环境中进行推广和教育的优势与R1进行世界级研究的优势结合起来。ARTSI联盟将通过强调机器人技术的创造力和社会效益方面，通过动手项目，课程和媒体，激励学生追求计算机科学职业。ARTSI的活动将跨越从K-12到教师队伍的学术管道。在K-12水平，学生将被招募与社区外展使用机器人和艺术，机器人路演，和机器人教育电影在线存储库。 在本科阶段，HBCU学生将接触到新的机器人课程，并鼓励他们通过暑期研究经验，艺术和健康领域的协作，跨学科机器人项目，技术电影文档指导，学生虚拟电影节，年度机器人会议和计算机科学创业指导，在研究生院进行高级培训。在教师层面，它将增加HBCU教师的数量，他们教育学生学习机器人技术，并通过提供教师指导，为R1机器人实验室代表性不足的教师提供夏季研究经验，机器人夏季研讨会，以及通过基于网络的门户网站开发和传播机器人教育材料，让学生参与机器人研究。该联盟将拥有包括希捷、iRobot、微软研究院和Juxtopia在内的行业合作伙伴，以及包括佛罗里达-乔治亚州路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟和计算机科学教师协会在内的教育合作伙伴。

Spelman College proposes the ARTSI (Advancing Robotics Technology for Societal Impact) Alliance in collaboration with Florida A&M University, the University of the District of Columbia, Hampton University, Morgan State University, Norfolk State University, Winston-Salem State University, the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Carnegie Mellon University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Brown University, Duke University, the University of Alabama, the University of Washington, and the University of Pittsburgh. Seven of these partners are HBCUs and seven are Carnegie Research I institutions. Their collaboration joins the strengths of HBCUs in conducting outreach and education in a nurturing learning environment with those of the R1's for conducting world class research. The ARTSI Alliance will motivate students to pursue computer science careers by emphasizing the creativity and socially beneficial aspects robotics technology with hands-on projects, curriculum, and media. ARTSI activities will span the academic pipeline from K-12 through the faculty ranks. At the K-12 level, students will be recruited with community outreach using robotics and art, robotics road shows, and a robotics educational film online repository. At the undergraduate level, HBCU students will be exposed to new robotics curriculum, and they will be encouraged to pursue advanced training in graduate school through summer research experiences, collaborative, interdisciplinary robotics projects in the arts and health, instruction in technical film documentation, student virtual film festivals, annual robotics conferences, and instruction in entrepreneurship for computer science. At the faculty level, it will increase the number of HBCU faculty who educate students in robotics and involve students in robotics research by providing faculty mentoring, summer research experiences for underrepresented faculty at R1 robotics labs, robotics summer workshops, and development and dissemination of robotics educational material through a web-based portal. The Alliance will have industry partners, including Seagate, iRobot, Microsoft Research, and Juxtopia, as well as educational partners, including Florida-Georgia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation and Computer Science Teachers Association.
