There is a large disparity in the gender of researchers in robotics. As the field of robotics becomes more integrated in every aspect of our society it is important that there be more women roboticists. This award helps US graduate students travel to attend the Women in Robotics workshop that will take place at the Robotics Science and Systems conference. This workshop will highlight the work of important female roboticists and by raising their visibility hopefully encourage more women to pursue robotics research.Robots are anticipated to be an integral part of meeting societal needs in domains like healthcare, space exploration, and education. To meet the growing demand for robotics technologies in these domains, the pool of capable roboticists will need to grow in kind. However, the number of female roboticists entering the field continues to notably lag behind male counterparts. This gender disparity presents a significant hurdle for adequately meeting the demand for experienced robot scientists. The Meet the Women in Robotics Workshop (WiRW) is focused on reducing the gender gap in the robotics domain by providing an opportunity to feature the work of prominent female roboticists. The fifth Meet the Women in Robotics Workshop (WiRW) aims to (1) raise the visibility of women in robotics, (2) strengthen the community of female roboticists and provide an opportunity for networking, and (3) connect junior robotics researchers to senior mentors in the 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.

机器人领域研究人员的性别差异很大。 随着机器人领域越来越融入我们社会的各个方面，有更多的女性机器人专家是很重要的。该奖项帮助美国研究生前往参加将在机器人科学与系统会议上举行的机器人女性研讨会。 本次研讨会将突出重要的女性机器人专家的工作，并通过提高她们的知名度，希望鼓励更多的女性从事机器人研究。机器人预计将成为满足医疗保健，太空探索和教育等领域社会需求的一个组成部分。为了满足这些领域对机器人技术日益增长的需求，有能力的机器人专家库将需要以实物形式增长。然而，进入该领域的女性机器人专家的数量仍然明显落后于男性同行。这种性别差异是充分满足对经验丰富的机器人科学家需求的一个重大障碍。Meet the Women in Robotics Workshop（WiRW）的重点是通过提供一个展示杰出女性机器人专家工作的机会来缩小机器人领域的性别差距。第五届Meet the Women in Robotics Workshop（WiRW）旨在（1）提高女性在机器人领域的知名度，（2）加强女性机器人专家的社区，并提供建立网络的机会，以及（3）该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的评估来支持的。影响审查标准。
