This award supports travel for US PhD students attending WAFR 2014 held in Istanbul, Turkey, from August 3 to August 5, 2014. The goal of the workshop is to highlight the research on the design and analysis of robot algorithms from both theoretical and practical angles. This gives an opportunity for the students to interact with senior faculty and get feedback on their work. One of the most important aspects of WAFR is its informal atmosphere, which allows a frank exchange of new, previously unpublished ideas; this is a critical component of graduate student development. In particular, WAFR has been an occasion for graduate students to meet and interact with more senior researchers who many times are not accessible to students at other major robotics conferences. The WAFR 2014 organizing committee will select participants and recipients of this travel support based on their contribution to the workshop. This award aims to have a diverse representation of participants in terms of gender, ethnic background, academic institution, and geographic location.

该奖项为参加2014年8月3日至8月5日在土耳其伊斯坦布尔举行的WAFR 2014的美国博士生提供旅费。研讨会的目标是从理论和实践的角度突出对机器人算法的设计和分析的研究。这为学生提供了一个与资深教师互动并获得他们工作反馈的机会。WAFR最重要的方面之一是其非正式的氛围，允许坦率地交换新的，以前未发表的想法；这是研究生发展的重要组成部分。特别是，WAFR为研究生提供了一个与其他主要机器人会议上的学生无法接触到的更多高级研究人员会面和互动的机会。2014年WAFR组委会将根据他们对研讨会的贡献来选择与会者和获奖人。该奖项旨在使参与者在性别、种族背景、学术机构和地理位置方面具有多样化的代表性。
