This Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site will advance knowledge by training students in the key technological area of robotics and preparing them for graduate study and technical leadership. The sciences that make up the discipline of robotics provide a unique opportunity to immerse students in research with real-world applications. Rapid research advances place robotics at the forefront of the nation's interests. Furthermore, robotics plays a vital role in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education due to its multi-disciplinary nature. Robotics-related technologies are becoming ubiquitous, for example sensors and wearable devices, and they are dominating national headlines and discussions on such innovations as driverless cars, big data and data mining, or medical robotics. An emphasis on increasing the participation of under-represented groups in this site has the potential to extend both the range of research projects within the robotics field and the range of societal concerns and problems addressed by these researchers as they enter upon and conduct their careers. This site will provide high-quality guided research experiences for undergraduate students with leading faculty in computer vision, field and space robotics, artificial intelligence, manipulation, and machine learning. Additional mentors, including researchers and graduate students, will provide unique perspectives and insights into science and engineering education careers. Mentors will meet weekly with scholars to facilitate their research experience and positive learning outcomes. The strategic goal of this site is to provide research experiences and mentorship to U.S. citizens and permanent residents from under-represented groups and those from higher education institutions with fewer research opportunities. Student recruitment and selection will be conducted accordingly and will draw on broad past experience in attracting under-served populations. The leadership team and participating faculty share this commitment and bring expertise in mentoring students from diverse backgrounds to communicate their research results to coming generations of students, middle school and high school teachers, and the general public.

这个本科生研究体验（REU）网站将通过培训学生在机器人关键技术领域的知识，并为他们的研究生学习和技术领导做准备。组成机器人学科的科学为学生提供了一个独特的机会，让他们沉浸在现实世界的应用研究中。快速的研究进展使机器人技术处于国家利益的最前沿。此外，由于其多学科的性质，机器人技术在科学、技术、工程和数学教育中起着至关重要的作用。与机器人相关的技术正变得无处不在，例如传感器和可穿戴设备，它们占据了全国性的头条新闻，以及无人驾驶汽车、大数据和数据挖掘或医疗机器人等创新的讨论。强调在这个网站上增加代表性不足的群体的参与，有可能扩大机器人领域的研究项目范围，以及这些研究人员在进入和开展他们的职业生涯时解决的社会关注和问题的范围。该网站将为本科生提供高质量的指导性研究体验，拥有计算机视觉、野外和空间机器人、人工智能、操纵和机器学习方面的一流教师。其他导师，包括研究人员和研究生，将为科学和工程教育事业提供独特的视角和见解。导师将每周与学者会面，以促进他们的研究经验和积极的学习成果。该网站的战略目标是为来自弱势群体的美国公民和永久居民以及来自高等教育机构的研究机会较少的人提供研究经验和指导。招生和选拔工作将据此进行，并将借鉴过去在吸引服务不足人口方面的广泛经验。领导团队和参与的教师分享这一承诺，并带来专业知识，指导来自不同背景的学生，将他们的研究成果传达给下一代学生、初中和高中教师以及公众。
