Getting robots to perform useful work in uncertain environments is still a grand challenge in robotics. One of the biggest possible impacts of this ability would be to enable the development of new co-robots that are nurses, handymen, and butlers for the elderly and infirm. Other important applications would be co-robots that can help find and evacuate the injured during first responses to disasters, improvements in design and control of active prosthetic devices and exoskeletons, and locomotion and manipulation behaviors for collaborative human-robot work. This proposal requests funds to organize a workshop focused on developing new planning and control methods to extend robots? abilities to transport themselves to work sites and then to perform useful physical work. A two-day workshop is proposed to encourage collaboration between the research communities of robotic manipulation and locomotion, both in academia and industry. The workshop is motivated by the fact that, although the underlying physical principles driving locomotion and manipulation are similar, the techniques developed by the two communities are not. The workshop will analyze the reasons for these differences and explore ideas to bring them closer, with the goal of cross-pollinating advances in both fields. In addition, the workshop will consider the impact of industrial efforts to address these problems.

在不确定的环境中，让机器人在不确定的环境中执行有用的工作仍然是机器人技术的巨大挑战。这种能力的最大可能影响之一是使新的联合机组人成为老年人和虚弱者的护士，杂种和管家。 其他重要的应用程序将是共同机组人员，可以帮助发现并撤离对灾难的第一次反应，改善主动假体设备和外骨骼的设计和控制，以及为人类手机协作工作的运动和操纵行为。该提案要求资金组织一个专注于开发新计划和控制方法以扩展机器人的研讨会？将自己运送到工作地点，然后进行有用的体育工作的能力。 提出了为期两天的研讨会，以鼓励在学术界和工业中的机器人操纵和运动研究社区之间的合作。该研讨会的动机是，尽管驱动运动和操纵的基本物理原则相似，但两个社区开发的技术却不是。研讨会将分析这些差异的原因，并探索想法使它们更加接近，目的是在这两个领域的交叉授粉进步。此外，研讨会将考虑解决这些问题的工业努力的影响。
