This proposal requests travel funds from NSF to assist 50 US students to participate in IROS 2011, which will be held in San Francisco, CA, Sep. 25-30, 2011. The purpose of this Group Travel Grant Proposal is to make it possible for US students and postdocs to attend the conference, present their work, and forge connections with colleagues from around the world. This year mark the 50th anniversary of robotics. In addition to the regular conference, IROS 2011 will feature interactive presentations, robot demonstrations, thematic plenary sessions on design, bio-robotics, and intelligent transportation, and special-topic symposia celebrating 50 years of robotics. As part of this award, students will also have the opportunity to participate in these historical events and learn more about the field of robotics. Travel funding will be in the form of partial airfare reimbursement and full reimbursement for student registration to approximately 50 U.S. students who plan to present at least one paper at the Conference.The "big two" major international robotics conferences were outside of North America this past year, so demand should be very high from American students and professors to attend this major robotics event. The benefit to student learning and mentorship by encouraging attendance of students by direct monetary means brings large dividends in student confidence, knowledge and expertise.

该提案要求NSF提供差旅费，以帮助50名美国学生参加2011年IROS，该活动将于2011年9月25日至30日在加利福尼亚州旧金山弗朗西斯科举行。这个团体旅行资助提案的目的是使美国学生和博士后能够参加会议，展示他们的工作，并与来自世界各地的同事建立联系。今年是机器人技术诞生50周年。除了常规会议外，IROS 2011还将举办互动演示、机器人演示、设计、生物机器人和智能交通专题全体会议，以及庆祝机器人50周年的专题研讨会。作为该奖项的一部分，学生也将有机会参加这些历史事件，并了解更多关于机器人领域。差旅费将以部分机票报销和学生注册全额报销的形式提供给计划在会议上发表至少一篇论文的大约50名美国学生。“两大”主要的国际机器人会议在过去的一年里都在北美以外的地方举行，因此美国学生和教授参加这一主要机器人活动的需求应该非常高。通过直接的金钱手段鼓励学生出勤，对学生学习和指导的好处是在学生的信心、知识和专长方面带来了巨大的红利。
