Workshop on Women in Medical Robotics; Atlanta, Georgia; April 22-24, 2020

该奖项将为一个研讨会提供支持，该研讨会将成为2020年4月22日至24日在佐治亚州亚特兰大佐治亚理工学院举行的医疗机器人国际研讨会的一部分。这次研讨会的目标是突出妇女和代表性不足的个人对医疗机器人领域的贡献，并激励下一代医疗机器人专家。演讲者将通过涵盖医疗机器人领域内广泛应用的从工作台到床边的研究，提供对医疗机器人的全面展望。本研讨会与M3X计划的总体目标保持一致，互动课程将围绕以下主题展开：人类意图和人类感觉运动能力的建模和集成到机器人控制中，以及机器人行为对循环中人类的思维和运动功能的影响。该奖项将通过互动小组讨论来促进科学进步，这些小组会议捕捉到了医疗机器人研究人员的独特专业观点，他们已经选择了“替代职业道路”，并处于其职业生涯的不同阶段。在受邀的研究讲座中，将特别强调妇女和代表人数不足的少数群体。本研讨会将为学员之间建立网络联系提供机会，以促进协作，并为学生和初级研究人员创造指导机会。因此，该奖项将通过支持医疗机器人领域的教育和多样性而造福社会。医疗机器人中的女性研讨会将汇集来自学术界、工业界和临床实践的专家，举行为期一天的活动，突出女性和代表性不足的个人对医疗机器人领域的贡献。研讨会将包括以下主题的研究讲座：医疗和外科机器人学，以及医疗机器人系统的以人为中心的建模。互动小组会议还将讨论专业发展和妇女和代表不足的个人在医疗机器人研究中面临的具体挑战。该活动还将包括一个学生海报会议，重点介绍在医疗机器人系统的背景下，思想、机器和电机系统(M3X)的交叉研究。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will provide support for a workshop that will be part of the International Symposium on Medical Robotics, taking place at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Georgia, April 22-24, 2020. The goals of this workshop are to highlight the contributions of women and underrepresented individuals to the field of medical robotics, and to inspire the next generation of medical roboticists. Speakers will provide a comprehensive outlook on medical robotics by covering research from bench to bedside across a wide spectrum of applications within the field of medical robotics. This workshop aligns with the overall objectives of the M3X program in that interactive sessions will center around topics including the modeling and integration of human intent and human sensorimotor capabilities into robotic controls, and the influence of robotic behavior on the mind and motor function of the human in the loop. This award will promote the progress of science through interactive panel sessions capturing the unique professional perspectives of medical robotics researchers who have chosen "alternate career paths" and are at different stages of their careers. Special emphasis will be given to women and underrepresented minorities in the invited research talks. This workshop will provide an opportunity for networking among the participants to foster collaboration and to create mentorship opportunities for students and junior researchers. Thus, the award will benefit society by supporting education and diversity in the field of medical robotics.The Workshop on Women in Medical Robotics will bring together experts from academia, industry and clinical practice for a one-day event highlighting the contributions of women and underrepresented individuals to the field of medical robotics. The workshop will include research talks on topics such as: Medical and Surgical Robotics, and Human-centric Modeling for Medical Robotic Systems. Interactive panel sessions will also discuss professional development and specific challenges faced by women and underrepresented individuals in medical robotics research. The event will also include a student poster session highlighting research at the intersection of mind, machine, and motor systems (M3X) in the context of medical robotic systems.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.
