REU Site: Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Institute REU Site

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好准备，从而提高知识。组成机器人学学科的科学提供了一个独特的机会，让学生沉浸在现实世界应用程序的研究中。快速的研究进步使机器人处于国家利益的前沿。此外，由于机器人的多学科性质，它在科学、技术、工程和数学教育中发挥着至关重要的作用。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，它们主导着全国的头条新闻，以及关于无人驾驶汽车、大数据和数据挖掘或医疗机器人等创新的讨论。强调增加代表不足的群体在本网站的参与，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职业生涯时解决的社会关切和问题的范围。该网站将为拥有计算机视觉、领域和空间机器人、人工智能、操纵和机器学习方面的领先教师的本科生提供高质量的指导性研究体验。其他导师，包括研究人员和研究生，将提供对科学和工程教育职业的独特视角和见解。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美国公民和来自代表性不足群体的永久居民以及来自研究机会较少的高等教育机构的人提供研究经验和指导。学生招募和选拔将相应地进行，并将借鉴过去在吸引服务不足人口方面的丰富经验。领导团队和参与的教职员工分享这一承诺，并带来专业知识，指导来自不同背景的学生向下一代学生、初中和高中教师以及普通民众传达他们的研究成果。

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.
