This NSF project provides travel funds to assist approximately 25 US researchers to participate in the 2008 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), in a time where airfare costs are increasing. This meeting has served as a forum gathering international researchers together for the exchange of ideas on technical problems and their solutions.One distinguishing aspect of IROS, setting it apart from its sister conference ICRA, is the increased presence of participants from Asia. The conference is held in Nice, France, and the transatlantic flight will incur a significant portion of the whole cost of attendance for US participants.The purpose of this Group Travel Grant Proposal is two-fold:- To assist US participation in this key international conference, and- To stimulate collaborations between US researchers and their international colleagues.A strong participation and presence of US researchers at IROS 2008 is expected to facilitate the exposure of US scientists to ideas from around the world, promote their own work, and increase their opportunities for international collaborations and visits. The financial support provided by this NSF project stimulates interaction between US scientists with their colleagues abroad, and contributes to the professional development of the former.

该NSF项目提供差旅费，以帮助大约25名美国研究人员参加2008年IEEE/RSJ智能机器人和系统国际会议（IROS），在机票费用不断增加的时候。该会议是国际研究人员聚集在一起就技术问题及其解决方案交换意见的论坛。IROS与其姊妹会议ICRA不同的一个显著特点是来自亚洲的与会者越来越多。会议在法国尼斯举行，跨大西洋航班将承担美国与会者全部出席费用的很大一部分。本团体旅行资助提案的目的有两个：- 协助美国参与这一重要的国际会议，以及-促进美国研究人员及其国际同事之间的合作。美国研究人员积极参与和出席IROS 2008，预计将促进美国科学家接触来自世界各地的想法，促进他们自己的工作，增加国际合作和访问的机会。美国国家科学基金会的这一项目所提供的财政支持促进了美国科学家与国外同行之间的互动，并有助于前者的专业发展。
