Workshop: Human Robot Interaction (HRI) 2010 Doctoral Consortium

这笔资金用于支持一个由大约20名研究生和来自不同研究领域（包括计算机科学与工程、心理学、认知科学、机器人、人为因素、人机交互设计和通信）的硕士和博士课程的应届毕业生组成的青年先锋队研讨会（博士联盟），以及杰出的研究人员。该活动将于2010年3月2日星期二举行，紧接著将于2010年3月3-5日在日本大阪举行的第五届人机交互年会（HRI 2010），该会议由ACM和IEEE联合主办。2010年人力资源研究所的主题是“人力资源研究所面临的重大技术和社会挑战”，它强调了在我们用机器人创造未来的过程中，迫切需要接受并讨论该领域面临的硬技术和社会问题的整合。有关会议的更多信息，请访问http://hri2010.org。少先队员研讨会旨在补充会议，为人力资源研究领域的学生和应届毕业生提供一个论坛，在一个比主要会议更不正式、更具互动性的环境中，与同行和资深研究人员小组分享他们目前的研究。在研讨会期间，与会者将讨论该领域即将到来的重要研究主题，鼓励形成跨学科和地理边界的合作关系。为此，研讨会将包括各种形式的会议：学生口头报告、学生海报报告、动手分组会议和小组报告。与会者将听取6名学生参与者的简短演讲；那些没有被邀请做口头报告的学生将参加一个互动海报会议。研讨会将以职业小组为特色，由三位高级人力资源研究所研究员组成，他们将分享自己的职业见解，并回答组织者和参与者提出的职业道路问题。讨论将在午餐期间以小组形式继续进行。下午的分组实践环节包括小组项目，参与者将探讨如何设计HRI实验；之后，各小组将向整个研讨会提交总结。讲习班的参加者将了解他们的同事正在进行的当前研究，认识到不同的跨学科方法，并了解人力资源研究所的新兴主题。他们还将有一个难得的机会，在研究生一级进行包含跨学科知识和多国观点的对话。更广泛的影响：本次研讨会将为最优秀的下一代人机交互研究人员提供一个独特的机会，让他们接触和讨论当前和相关的主题，因为他们正在几个不同的研究领域（包括但不限于计算机科学与工程、心理学、机器人、人为因素和人体工程学以及人机交互）进行研究。这对该领域很重要，因为人们已经认识到，在这个新兴领域，研究的变革性进展只能通过跨学科知识和跨国视角的融合来实现。参加者将被鼓励在他们自己之间以及与处于专业发展关键阶段的资深研究人员建立一个社会网络，形成合作关系，并在未来几年提出新的研究问题。参加者也将获得领导和服务经验，因为工作坊主要由学生组织和领导。PI将积极地从少数民族和代表性不足的群体中招募年轻的研究人员，以确保参与者在各个方面的多样性，从而拓宽学生的视野，为该领域的未来利益服务。为了验证2010年少先队员研讨会的有效性，她将进行研讨会前后的调查。此外，由于这是研讨会的第五年，她将通过对过去的参与者和组织者进行纵向调查来评估其有效性和价值。

This is funding to support a Young Pioneers Workshop (doctoral consortium) of approximately 20 graduate students and recent graduates from master's and doctoral programs in diverse research communities (including computer science and engineering, psychology, cognitive science, robotics, human factors, human-computer interaction design, and communications), along with distinguished research faculty. The event will take place on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, immediately preceding the Fifth Annual Human Robot Interaction Conference (HRI 2010) to be held March 3-5, 2010, in Osaka, Japan, and which is jointly sponsored by ACM and IEEE. The theme of HRI 2010 is "Grand Technical and Social Challenges in HRI," which highlights the critical need to take up and speak to the integration of the hard technical and social problems facing the field as we move to create our future with robots. More information about the conference is available at http://hri2010.org. The Young Pioneers Workshop is designed to complement the conference, by providing a forum for students and recent graduates in the field of HRI to share their current research with their peers and a panel of senior researchers in a setting that is less formal and more interactive than the main conference. During the workshop, participants will talk about the important upcoming research themes in the field, encouraging the formation of collaborative relationships across disciplines and geographic boundaries. To these ends, the workshop will include sessions in a variety of formats: student oral presentations, student poster presentations, a hands-on breakout session, and group presentations. Attendees will hear short presentations from 6 selected student participants; those students not invited to give an oral presentation will participate in an interactive poster session. The workshop will feature a Career Panel with three senior HRI researchers who will share insights about their own careers and answer career path questions posed by the organizers and participants. The discussions will continue over lunch in smaller groups. In the afternoon, a hands-on breakout session will involve small group projects in which participants will investigate how to design an HRI experiment; afterward, the groups will present a summary to the entire workshop. Participants in the workshop will come away with knowledge of current research being conducted by their colleagues, awareness of diverse interdisciplinary methodologies, and understanding of emerging themes in HRI. They will also have had a rare opportunity to engage in dialogue containing cross-disciplinary knowledge and multinational perspectives at the graduate level.Broader Impacts: This workshop will afford a unique opportunity for the best of the next generation of researchers in human-robot interaction to be exposed to and discuss current and relevant topics as they are being studied in several different research communities (including but nor limited to computer science and engineering, psychology, robotics, human factors and ergonomics, and human-computer interaction). This is important for the field, because it has been recognized that transformative advances in research in this fledgling area can only come through the melding of cross-disciplinary knowledge and multinational perspectives. Participants will be encouraged to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development, to form collaborative relationships, and to generate new research questions to be addressed during the coming years. Participants will also gain leadership and service experience, as the workshop is largely student organized and student led. The PI will act aggressively to recruit young researchers from minority and underrepresented groups in order to assure diversity of the participants across a variety of dimensions, so that the students' horizons are broadened to the future benefit of the field. To validate the effectiveness of the 2010 Young Pioneers Workshop, she will conduct pre- and post-workshop surveys. Additionally, as this is the workshop's fifth year, she will evaluate its effectiveness and value by conducting a longitudinal survey of past participants and organizers.
