WORKSHOP: The 2013 HRI Pioneers Workshop at the 2013 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction

这笔资金用于支持一个由来自不同研究领域（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）的大约20名研究生和博士后（包括15名美国参与者）组成的青年先锋队研讨会（博士联盟），以及杰出的研究人员。美国国家科学基金会的资金将仅用于支付符合条件的美国参会者的旅行、住房和生活费用。该活动将于2013年3月3日（星期日）举行，紧接将于2013年3月3日至6日在日本东京举行的第八届人机交互年会（HRI 2013），该会议由ACM和IEEE联合主办。HRI是一个单轨、高度选择性的年度国际会议，旨在展示人机交互领域最好的跨学科和多学科研究，这些研究根植于社会心理学、认知科学、HCI、人为因素、人工智能、机器人、组织行为学、人类学等领域，并邀请广泛参与。HRI 2013的主题是“人与机器人的整体发展”。机器人解决方案越来越多地应用于现实世界的问题，如我们的老龄化社会、可再生能源、气候控制、应急响应、教育和探索。这些社会问题需要一个整体的方法来设计和开发机器人，以满足人类的需求，解决技术挑战，并促进在日常环境中的接受。有关会议的更多信息可在http://humanrobotinteraction.org/2013.The网站上获得。青年先锋队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，研讨会的形式将包括2名学生的口头报告，所有学生的海报报告，小组报告的动手分组会议，主题演讲，以及高级研究人员的小组报告，他们将分享他们的专业知识和见解，如何应对人力资源研究所的跨学科挑战。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，共同设计一个综合的人力资源研究所项目，从而鼓励小组参与和跨学科思想的培养。之后的演讲环节将允许每个分组小组向整个研讨会提交总结；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表示，他坚决致力于从其他代表性不足的群体中招募妇女和成员。为进一步确保多样性，活动主办方将考虑申请人在人力资源研究所方面提供新视角和观点的潜力，并且不会接受来自同一院校的超过一名申请人。

This is funding to support a Young Pioneers Workshop (doctoral consortium) of approximately 20 graduate students and post-docs (including 15 U.S. participants) 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. NSF funding will be used solely to cover travel, housing, and subsistence for eligible U.S. attendees. The event will take place on Sunday, March 3, 2013, immediately preceding the Eighth Annual Human Robot Interaction Conference (HRI 2013), to be held March 3-6, 2013, in Tokyo, Japan, and which is jointly sponsored by ACM and IEEE. HRI is a single-track, highly selective annual international conference that seeks to showcase the very best inter- and multi-disciplinary research in human-robot interaction with roots in social psychology, cognitive science, HCI, human factors, artificial intelligence, robotics, organizational behavior, anthropology and many more, and invites broad participation. The theme of HRI 2013 is "Holistic Human-Robot Development." Robotic solutions are increasingly applied to real world problems such as our aging society, renewable energy, climate control, emergency response, education and exploration. These societal problems require a holistic approach to the design and development of robots that meet human needs, address technical challenges, and foster acceptance in everyday settings. More information about the conference is available online at http://humanrobotinteraction.org/2013.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 format will include oral presentations from 2 student attendees, poster presentations from all student attendees, a hands-on breakout session with group presentations, a keynote, and a panel presentation by senior researchers who 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, thereby encouraging group participation and the cultivation of cross-disciplinary ideas. The presentation session afterward will allow 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 HCI). 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 has expressed his strong commitment to recruiting women and members from other under-represented groups. To further ensure diversity, the event organizers will consider an applicant's potential to offer a fresh perspective and point of view with respect to HRI, and no more than one applicant will be accepted from any given institution.
