This three-year Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Site: Summer Undergraduate Research in Engineering (SURE)-Robotics, at Georgia Institute of Technology, will expose participating students to interdisciplinary robotics research, and as a direct consequence, interest them in opportunities available through graduate study. Due to the universal appeal and the compelling real-world applications that robotics has in society, this program is designed to have direct appeal in attracting minority and female undergraduate students into research. Robotics, as a discipline, is inherently interdisciplinary, combining all aspects of engineering necessary for designing and deploying integrated systems and solutions. As students are exposed to robotics, they begin to see connections among these disciplines and begin to understand how their in-class book knowledge translates into real-world systems that can assist society in positive ways. The push of robotics, as it moves from traditional industrial settings, into public spaces and homes across the world opens up extensive new research opportunities in important economic areas such as healthcare, education, and entertainment. Annually, Georgia Tech will host eight REU students in an immersive 10-week robotics summer research experience. The program will recruit participants locally and nationwide from institutions that provide no or limited research opportunities. Since it is expected that this theme will be highly advantageous for recruiting, retaining, and motivating students who are currently underrepresented in engineering disciplines, particular emphasis will be placed on recruitment of minority and female students. Students who are paired with both a faculty advisor and a graduate student mentor, will undertake meaningful robotics research projects, visit local industrial labs, attend weekly seminars on emerging research in the robotics field, and participate in weekly academic enrichment and skill development workshops. Students will conclude the program with research presentations to their peers, faculty, and graduate student mentors. Through this immersive research experience, robotics REU students will share in meeting the challenges of this promising new robotics domain and fully reap the rewards of being trained in this interdisciplinary field.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

佐治亚理工学院为期三年的本科生研究经验（REU）网站：夏季工程本科生研究(SURE)-机器人，将使参与的学生接触跨学科机器人研究，并作为直接结果，使他们对研究生学习的机会感兴趣。由于机器人技术在社会中的普遍吸引力和引人注目的现实应用，该计划旨在吸引少数民族和女性本科生参与研究。机器人作为一门学科，本质上是跨学科的，它结合了设计和部署集成系统和解决方案所需的工程的各个方面。随着学生接触机器人技术，他们开始看到这些学科之间的联系，并开始理解他们在课堂上的书本知识如何转化为现实世界的系统，以积极的方式帮助社会。随着机器人技术从传统的工业环境进入世界各地的公共空间和家庭，它在医疗保健、教育和娱乐等重要经济领域开辟了广泛的新研究机会。每年，佐治亚理工学院都会邀请8名REU学生参加为期10周的沉浸式机器人暑期研究体验。该项目将从不提供或提供有限研究机会的机构中招募当地和全国的参与者。由于预计这一主题将对招收、留住和激励目前在工程学科中代表性不足的学生非常有利，因此将特别强调招收少数民族和女学生。与指导教师和研究生导师配对的学生将进行有意义的机器人研究项目，参观当地的工业实验室，参加每周一次的机器人领域新兴研究研讨会，并参加每周一次的学术充实和技能发展研讨会。学生们将以向他们的同学、教师和研究生导师做研究报告的方式结束这个项目。通过这种身临其境的研究体验，机器人REU的学生将分享这个充满希望的新机器人领域的挑战，并充分收获在这个跨学科领域接受培训的回报。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
