Cognitive robotics has been identified as a research area of common interest to Japan and the US; in addition, it is of mutual benefit to both countries to explore areas for collaborative work where each side brings complementary strength to the project. Moreover, there is already a good start in collaborative research among some US-Japan roboticists. We propose to propel this joint cooperative research to a higher level of impact by holding a joint NSF-JST workshop which brings together the best researchers from both countries and have them discuss and exchange ideas about the most opportune research directions, then work at a deeper level on some specific challenges in these areas in order to be well-positioned for a next round of collaborative funding opportunities.This workshop has the potential to result not only in new research directions which could ultimately impact many industries (e.g., elderly care, logistics, security, medical, exploration, monitoring, etc.), but also lead to broader international opportunities for faculty and students. The goal is to have the results of this workshop result in high-impact collaborative US-Japan research with student and faculty exchanges and long-term visits. This renders our students and faculty more globally aware and competitive.

认知机器人已被确定为日本和美国共同感兴趣的研究领域；此外，探索双方在项目优势互补的领域开展合作，对双方都有利。此外，一些美日机器人专家之间的合作研究已经有了一个良好的开端。我们建议通过举办NSF-JST联合研讨会，将两国最优秀的研究人员聚集在一起，就最合适的研究方向进行讨论和交流，然后在这些领域的一些具体挑战上进行更深层次的工作，以便为下一轮的合作资助机会做好准备，从而推动这一联合合作研究达到更高的水平。本次研讨会不仅有可能产生新的研究方向，最终可能影响许多行业（例如，老年护理，物流，安全，医疗，勘探，监测等），而且还可能为教师和学生带来更广泛的国际机会。目标是通过学生和教师交流和长期访问，使本次研讨会的成果成为具有高影响力的美日合作研究成果。这使我们的学生和教师更具全球意识和竞争力。
