This INSPIRE award is partially funded by the Oceanographic Centers and Facilities Program in the Division of Ocean Sciences in the Directorate for Geosciences, the Transforming Undergraduate Education in STEM Program in the Division of Undergraduate Education in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources, and the Robust Intelligence Program in the Division of Information and Intelligent Systems in the Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering.This project is aimed at expanding the ways scientists conduct field work from oceanographic research platforms. To do so, the team will assemble a cohort of 12 undergraduate students who will be involved in a telepresence-based research cruise, whose mission is to investigate greenhouse gas exhalation from the seafloor. The students will be active in all phases of the planning, execution and conclusion of the project. The students will be mentored by the PIs as well as a group of early-career scientists. In addition to the ocean science objectives, the PIs will conduct an evaluation of the effectiveness of the activity for recruiting and entraining undergraduate students in STEM. They will also assess the impact the experience has on the learning experience of the students. They will also improve the capability of researchers to utilize increasingly advanced robotic systems for this activity, and in the future. Another important aspect of the project is integrating an ethnography component, defined as the study of the practices through which a community makes meaning. The PIs will compare ship-based versus telepresence interactions, paying attention to where conflicts arise and how they are resolved. They will evaluate the cultural processes involved in human-machine interactions for this activity. They will assist in developing the best practices for this approach to science and help communicate the outcomes broadly.

该启发奖由海洋科学局的海洋科学局和设施计划部分资助，地球科学局，在教育和人力资源局的本科教育局的转化本科教育计划中，在临时和智能委员会中，该局长和智能委员会在计算机和信息方面进行了努力，该计划的计算机和智能委员会的努力范围促进了技术和智能委员会。平台。为此，该团队将组成一组由12名本科生组成的队列，他们将参与基于远程的研究巡游，其任务是调查海底的温室气呼气。学生将在项目的计划，执行和结论的所有阶段都活跃。学生将受到PI和一群早期科学家的指导。除了海洋科学目标外，PIS还将评估活动在STEM中招募和纳入本科生的有效性。他们还将评估经验对学生学习经历的影响。他们还将提高研究人员利用日益高级的机器人系统以及将来的能力。该项目的另一个重要方面是整合民族志组成部分，该组成部分定义为对社区所具有意义的实践的研究。 PI将比较基于船的与远程息息相关的相互作用，关注发生冲突的地方以及如何解决冲突。他们将评估该活动中涉及人机相互作用的文化过程。他们将协助开发这种科学方法的最佳实践，并帮助广泛地传达结果。
