Doctoral Student Workshop on Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics

该奖项为参加2014年8月3日至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两个角度突出对机器人算法设计和分析的研究。这让学生有机会与资深教员互动，并获得对他们工作的反馈。WAFR最重要的方面之一是它的非正式氛围，允许坦率地交流以前没有发表过的新想法；这是研究生发展的关键组成部分。特别是，WAFR一直是研究生与更资深的研究人员见面和互动的机会，这些研究人员许多时候是学生在其他主要机器人会议上无法接触到的。2014年世界渔业局组委会将根据参加者和受援者对研讨会的贡献来选择这项旅行支助的参加者和接受者。该奖项旨在让参赛者在性别、种族背景、学术机构和地理位置方面具有多样化的代表性。

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One of the most important aspects of WAFR is its informal atmosphere, which allows a frank exchange of new, previously unpublished ideas; this is a critical component of graduate student development.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.
