This is funding to support a Pioneers Workshop (doctoral consortium) of approximately 18 graduate students and post-docs (including about 12 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 Monday, March 3, 2014, immediately preceding the Ninth International Conference on Human Robot Interaction (HRI 2014), to be held March 4-6 in Bielefeld, Germany, 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 2014 is "(E)Merging Perspectives" which seeks to combine both user and system perspectives to advance new and possibly unorthodox methodologies. To extend the current singular approaches, this year's conference emphasizes papers that demonstrate the usage of novel empirical methods, the integration of empirical findings into complex robot systems, and holistic approaches in system evaluation. More information about the conference is available online at http://humanrobotinteraction.org/2014. The 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 attendees, a hands-on meet-and-greet session, two alumni speakers, a keynote, and a panel presentation by senior researchers. The oral presentations and the interactive poster sessions will provide a forum for participants to share their research, enabling them to receive feedback on their work and to gain perspective on the field. The hands-on meet-and-greet session will involve networking and the cultivation of cross-disciplinary ideas. The alumni presentations will provide advice for short-term goals and a recent perspective on looking for jobs within the community. The keynote lecture will provide a global and future vision for HRI. The panel presentation will feature five senior HRI researchers from both academia and industry who will share insights about their own careers, answer career path questions, and provide insight into the interdisciplinary nature of the HRI community. The conversations between the panel and participants will continue over lunch and 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 her strong commitment to recruiting women and members from 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 will limit the number of participants accepted from a particular institution to two, with one being a woman if two are accepted

这笔资金用于支持来自不同研究社区（例如，计算机科学与工程、心理学、认知科学、机器人学、人为因素、人机交互设计和通信），沿着杰出的研究教师。 NSF的资金将仅用于支付符合条件的美国与会者的旅行，住房和生活费。 该活动将于2014年3月3日（星期一）举行，紧接着将于3月4日至6日在德国比勒费尔德举行的第九届人机交互国际会议（HRI 2014），由ACM和IEEE联合赞助。 HRI是一个单一的，高度选择性的年度国际会议，旨在展示最好的跨学科和多学科的研究在人机交互与社会心理学，认知科学，人机交互，人为因素，人工智能，机器人，组织行为学，人类学和更多的根源，并邀请广泛参与。 HRI 2014的主题是“（E）融合视角”，旨在将用户和系统视角联合收割机结合起来，以推进新的和可能非正统的方法。 为了扩展目前的单一方法，今年的会议强调的论文，展示了新的经验方法的使用，经验发现到复杂的机器人系统的整合，以及系统评估的整体方法。 有关会议的更多信息可在http://humanrobotinteraction.org/2014上查阅。先锋研讨会的目的是补充会议，通过提供一个论坛，为学生和应届毕业生在HRI领域分享他们目前的研究与他们的同龄人和一个小组的高级研究人员在一个设置，这是不太正式，更具互动性比主要会议。 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，鼓励跨学科和地理边界的合作关系的形成。 为了这些目的，研讨会的形式将包括2名学生与会者的口头报告，所有与会者的海报展示，一个动手的会议和问候会议，两个校友演讲，一个主题演讲，以及高级研究人员的小组演讲。 口头介绍和互动海报会议将为与会者提供一个论坛，分享他们的研究，使他们能够收到关于他们工作的反馈，并获得对该领域的看法。 动手见面会将涉及网络和跨学科思想的培养。 校友演讲将为短期目标提供建议，并就在社区内寻找工作提供最新的观点。 主题演讲将为HRI提供全球和未来的愿景。 小组演讲将有来自学术界和工业界的五位高级HRI研究人员，他们将分享有关自己职业生涯的见解，回答职业道路问题，并深入了解HRI社区的跨学科性质。 午餐和晚餐期间，专家组将继续与与会者进行对话。本次研讨会将提供一个独特的机会，最好的下一代研究人员在人机交互接触和讨论当前和相关的主题，因为他们正在研究在几个不同的研究社区（包括但不限于计算机科学和工程、心理学、机器人、人因工程学和人机工程学）。 这对该领域很重要，因为人们已经认识到，在这一新兴领域的研究中，变革性的进步只能通过融合跨学科知识和多国视角来实现。 将鼓励参与者在他们自己之间以及与处于专业发展关键阶段的高级研究人员建立社会网络，以形成合作关系，并提出未来几年要解决的新研究问题。 参与者还将获得领导和服务经验，因为研讨会主要是学生组织和学生领导的。 PI表示她坚定地致力于从代表性不足的群体中招募妇女和成员。 为了进一步确保多样性，活动组织者将考虑申请人在人权倡议方面提出新观点和看法的潜力，并将从某一机构接受的参与者人数限制在两人，如果接受两人，其中一人是妇女
