The International Advanced Robotics Project (IARP) is an international organization, consisting of 14 countries and the European Union, devoted to monitoring and promoting robotics related technology and utilization. The United States helped to formulate this organization and has been an active member participating in technology evaluations, workshops, and joint study missions. Participation involves US technical experts traveling to various functions, and interacting with their colleagues to discuss ongoing research and developing technology relating to intelligent machines. This grant provides the mechanism to insure that the selection process and procedure for selecting participants is fair, efficient, organizationally viable. OBJECTIVES AND METHODS TO BE EMPLOYED Since the IARP meetings are generally technology specific, the selection of US participants must not only reflect the person?s expertise but also his or her ability to communicate and interact with other participants. The selection process will be performed by an ad hoc committee drawn from the IEEE, Robotics and Automation Society. The traveler will receive reimbursement for expenses but an honorarium will only be provided in exceptional circumstances. This rule also applies to attendance at the IARP, Joint Coordinating Forum (JCF) which is the management, planning, and policy planning body. The representatives of member and observer countries attend this meeting in one of the host countries. A detailed description of the host country?s robotics program is an essential part of the agenda. INTELLECTUAL MERIT OF THE PROPOSAL ACTIVITY The research area referred to as robotics, more generally ?intelligent machines,? comprises fundamental questions about machine vision, sensors, computer science, haptics, kinematics, manipulation, communications and control, and other scientific and engineering disciplines. These research areas, rich in intellectual merit, investigating robotic applications in medicine and surgery, underwater exploration, environmental characterization, human interaction, safety and security and others. Recognizing the societal benefits to be gained by supporting the development of intelligent machines, the governments of the seven industrialized countries initiated the international advanced robotics program (IARP). Although each of these countries has national priorities and interests in the application of these machines, the basic science and technology has many common elements. Forming a mechanism for information exchange, interaction, and cooperation would benefit each country and the people of the world. The successful implementation of the concept has led to additional countries, interested in robotics, joining the organization and sharing the details of their national programs. Since only countries with robotics programs can join the IARP, it differs from technical organizations such as IEEE and others primarily interested in technology. BROADER IMPACT RESULTING FROM PROPOSED ACTIVITY The broader impact of the application of these intelligent machines is one of the primary focus points for the countries of IARP. Although each country has its own priorities, IARP studies provide planners with information about the direction that the research is taking and the societal impact of robotics. IARP studies and workshop reports are published in the public domain for the use of any interested party, private, public, or industrial. The government entities supporting the technical and scientific studies of IARP understand that sharing this information ultimately benefits society everywhere.

国际先进机器人项目（International Advanced Robotics Project，IARP）是一个由14个国家和欧盟组成的国际组织，致力于监测和促进机器人相关技术和应用。美国帮助建立了该组织，并积极参加技术评估、讲习班和联合研究团。参与活动的美国技术专家将前往各个职能部门，并与他们的同事互动，讨论正在进行的研究和开发与智能机器相关的技术。该补助金提供了一种机制，以确保选择参与者的选择过程和程序是公平、有效和组织上可行的。由于IARP会议通常是技术特定的，美国与会者的选择不仅必须反映人？他或她的专业知识，但他或她的沟通能力和与其他参与者互动。选择过程将由IEEE机器人与自动化学会的特设委员会执行。旅行者将获得费用报销，但只有在特殊情况下才会提供酬金。这一规则也适用于参加国际退休人员协会，即联合协调论坛，这是一个管理、规划和政策规划机构。成员国和观察员国的代表在东道国之一出席这次会议。对东道国的详细描述？的机器人计划是议程的重要组成部分。建议活动的智力价值研究领域更一般地称为机器人技术？智能机器，？包括机器视觉、传感器、计算机科学、触觉学、运动学、操纵、通信和控制以及其他科学和工程学科的基本问题。这些研究领域具有丰富的知识价值，研究机器人在医学和外科手术，水下探索，环境表征，人类互动，安全和安保等方面的应用。认识到支持智能机器的发展所带来的社会效益，七个工业化国家的政府发起了国际先进机器人计划（IARP）。虽然这些国家在应用这些机器方面都有本国的优先事项和利益，但基础科学和技术有许多共同的要素。建立一个信息交流、互动与合作的机制将造福于每个国家和世界人民。这一概念的成功实施导致更多对机器人感兴趣的国家加入该组织并分享其国家计划的细节。由于只有拥有机器人项目的国家才能加入IARP，因此它与IEEE等主要对技术感兴趣的技术组织不同。这些智能机器应用的广泛影响是IARP国家的主要关注点之一。虽然每个国家都有自己的优先事项，但IARP的研究为规划者提供了有关研究方向和机器人技术社会影响的信息。IARP的研究和研讨会报告在公共领域出版，供任何感兴趣的私人，公共或工业方使用。支持国际退休人员协会技术和科学研究的政府实体认识到，分享这一信息最终将使世界各地的社会受益。
