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.

这项奖励将帮助支付10名或更多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首届国际自动控制联合会(IFAC)网络物理和人类系统会议(CPHS)的旅费。物理世界与信息技术和数据流相互作用的网络物理系统(CPS)仍然是一个具有挑战性的研究领域。然而，当人类被引入时，研究需求就更大了。世界各地的研究小组在推进智能假肢和医疗植入物、机器人和车辆的人类控制、自动、半自动和人类控制车辆的大规模集成以及智能和互联城市基础设施等领域的自动控制领域正在取得进展。这一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作品，否则他们将没有资源访问这些作品。同样，这笔会议旅行补助金将为他们提供机会，了解他们原本没有资源访问的机构正在进行的工作。这次会议将讨论人类在网络-物理系统方面可能扮演的各种角色。CPS可以由人类操作员直接控制，CPS可以自主操作，目标是授权特定的人类活动，人类可以是CPS中的组件，其目标与人类的目标不直接一致，或者他们可能是针对CPS的目标而行动的人类。会议的目标是指导和协调国际控制科学和工程研究人员的活动，以应对这些领域的许多机会和新出现的成果。
