This award will help defray travel costs for ten or more US graduate students and postdoctoral researchers to travel to Florianopolis, Brazil, for the first International Federation on Automatic Control (IFAC) Conference on Cyber-Physical and Human Systems (CPHS). Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), in which the physical world interacts with information technology and data flow, remain a challenging research area. However the research needs are even greater when humans are introduced. Research groups around the world are making progress in advancing the field of automatic control in areas such as smart prosthetics and medical implants; human control of robots and vehicles; large-scale integration of autonomous, semi-autonomous, and human-controlled vehicles; and smart and connected urban infrastructure. This award will enable early career scholars to present and discuss their work to an international audience that they would otherwise not have the resources to access. Likewise, this conference travel grant will provide them the opportunity to learn about work being done at institutions that they would otherwise not have the resources to visit.This conference will address various roles humans may play in regard to cyber-physical systems. The CPS may be directly controlled by human operators, the CPS may operate autonomously with the objective of empowering specific human activities, humans may be components in a CPS whose objectives are not directly aligned to human goals, or humans they may be acting against the goals of a CPS. The goal of the conference is to direct and coordinate activities of the international community of control science and engineering researchers to the many opportunities and newly emerging results in these areas.

该奖项将帮助支付10名或更多的美国研究生和博士后研究人员前往巴西弗洛里亚诺波利斯参加第一届国际自动控制联合会（IFAC）网络物理和人类系统（CPHS）会议的旅费。信息物理系统（CPS）是物理世界与信息技术和数据流相互作用的系统，是一个具有挑战性的研究领域。然而，当引入人类时，研究需求就更大了。世界各地的研究小组正在推进智能假肢和医疗植入物等领域的自动控制领域取得进展；人类对机器人和车辆的控制；自动、半自主和人类控制车辆的大规模集成；智能互联的城市基础设施。该奖项将使早期职业学者能够向国际观众展示和讨论他们的工作，否则他们将无法获得这些资源。同样，这项会议旅行补助金将使他们有机会了解那些他们本来没有资源去参观的机构正在进行的工作。本次会议将讨论人类在网络物理系统中可能扮演的各种角色。CPS可以由人类操作员直接控制，CPS可以自主运行，目的是授权特定的人类活动，人类可能是CPS的组成部分，其目标与人类目标不直接一致，或者人类可能与CPS的目标背道而驰。会议的目标是指导和协调控制科学和工程研究人员在这些领域的许多机会和新出现的结果的国际社会的活动。
