This is funding to support a Young Pioneers Workshop (doctoral consortium) of approximately 18 graduate students and 2 postdocs from diverse research communities (e.g., 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 Monday, March 5, 2012, immediately preceding the Seventh Annual Human Robot Interaction Conference (HRI 2012) to be held March 6-8, 2012, in Boston, and which is jointly sponsored by ACM and IEEE. The theme of HRI 2012 is "Robots in the Loop,' which highlights the importance of autonomously capable robots in enhancing the experiences of human users in everyday life and work activities; the conference will emphasize embodied robotic systems that operate, collaborate with, learn from, and meet the needs of human users in real-world environments. More information about the conference is available at http://hri2012.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. Attendees will hear short talks from 3 selected student participants; those students not invited to give an oral presentation will participate in an interactive poster session. A panel of five senior researchers will share their expertise and insights on how to address the interdisciplinary challenge of HRI. The afternoon breakout session will involve small groups of 3-5 attendees with diverse backgrounds working to design an integrative HRI project, encouraging group participation and the cultivation of cross-disciplinary ideas. The presentation session afterward will allow 10-15 minutes for each breakout group to present a summary to the entire workshop; the organizers anticipate that the discussions will continue during dinner.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 not 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. The PI will conduct pre- and post-workshop surveys in order to validate the effectiveness of the 2012 Young Pioneers Workshop.

这笔资金用于支持一个由大约18名研究生和2名博士后组成的青年先锋队研讨会（博士联盟），他们来自不同的研究领域（如计算机科学与工程、心理学、认知科学、机器人、人为因素、人机交互设计和通信），以及杰出的研究人员。该活动将于2012年3月5日星期一举行，紧接着将于2012年3月6日至8日在波士顿举行的第七届年度人机交互会议（HRI 2012），该会议由ACM和IEEE联合主办。2012年HRI的主题是“循环中的机器人”，强调具有自主能力的机器人在增强人类用户在日常生活和工作活动中的体验方面的重要性；会议将强调在现实环境中操作、协作、学习和满足人类用户需求的嵌入式机器人系统。有关会议的更多信息可在http://hri2012.org/.The上获得，该研讨会旨在补充会议，为人力资源研究所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高级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。为此目的，讲习班将包括各种形式的会议。与会者将听取3名学生的简短演讲；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。由五位资深研究人员组成的小组将就如何应对人力资源研究所的跨学科挑战分享他们的专业知识和见解。下午的分组会议将包括3-5名不同背景的与会者组成的小组，共同设计一个综合人力资源研究所项目，鼓励小组参与和跨学科思想的培养。之后的演讲环节将给每个分组小组10-15分钟的时间向整个研讨会做总结；组织者预计，讨论将在晚餐期间继续进行。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、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2012年少先队员研讨会的有效性，PI将进行研讨会前后的调查。
