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.

该奖项将帮助支付十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) 网络物理与人类系统 (CPHS) 会议的旅费。物理世界与信息技术和数据流交互的网络物理系统（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自动控制领域的进展；人类对机器人和车辆的控制；自动、半自动和人控车辆的大规模集成；以及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资源。同样，这次会议旅行补助金将为他们提供机会了解他们没有资源访问的机构正在开展的工作。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 可以自主运行，以增强特定人类活动的能力，人类可能是 CPS 中的组成部分，其目标与人类目标不直接一致，或者人类可能会违背 CPS 的目标行事。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，以抓住这些领域的许多机会和新出现的成果。
