Workshop: Human Robot Interaction (HRI) 2010 Doctoral Consortium

这笔资金用于支持少先队员研讨会(博士联盟)，该研讨会由大约20名研究生和最近从不同研究社区(包括计算机科学和工程、心理学、认知科学、机器人、人为因素、人机交互设计和通信)的硕士和博士项目毕业的毕业生以及杰出的研究人员组成。该活动将于2010年3月2日星期二举行，紧接着将于2010年3月3日至5日在日本大阪举行第五届年度人类机器人互动会议(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“人力资源研究所的重大技术和社会挑战”，它强调了在我们用机器人创造我们的未来的同时，迫切需要考虑和谈论该领域所面临的棘手的技术和社会问题的整合。欲了解更多有关这次会议的信息，请访问http://hri2010.org.。少先队员讲习班旨在补充会议，为HRI领域的学生和新近毕业的学生提供一个论坛，在一个不像主要会议那样正式和更具互动性的环境中与他们的同行和高级研究人员小组分享他们目前的研究成果。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。与会者将听取来自6名选定的学生参与者的简短陈述；未被邀请进行口头陈述的学生将参加一个互动海报会议。研讨会将有一个由三名人力资源研究所高级研究人员组成的职业小组，他们将分享对自己职业生涯的见解，并回答组织者和参与者提出的职业道路问题。讨论将在午餐时以较小的小组形式继续进行。下午，分组讨论将包括小组项目，参与者将研究如何设计HRI实验；随后，小组将对整个研讨会进行总结。讲习班的参加者将了解他们的同事正在进行的最新研究，了解各种跨学科的方法，并了解人力资源倡议中的新主题。他们还将有一个难得的机会在研究生层面上参与包含跨学科知识和多国观点的对话。广泛影响：这次研讨会将为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，因为这些主题正在几个不同的研究社区(包括但不限于计算机科学和工程、心理学、机器人学、人的因素和人体工程学以及人机交互)。这对该领域很重要，因为人们已经认识到，这一新兴领域的研究只有通过融合跨学科知识和多国观点才能取得变革性的进展。将鼓励参与者在他们之间以及与处于其专业发展关键阶段的高级研究人员建立一个社交网络，以形成协作关系，并产生新的研究问题，以便在未来几年得到解决。学员还将获得领导力和服务经验，因为研讨会主要是由学生组织和学生主导的。国际和平研究所将采取积极行动，从少数群体和代表性不足的群体中招聘年轻的研究人员，以确保参与者在各个方面的多样性，从而拓宽学生的视野，使他们能够从该领域未来的利益中受益。为了验证2010年少先队员讲习班的有效性，她将进行讲习班前和讲习班后的调查。此外，由于今年是研讨会的第五个年头，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.
