The Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) conference is a selective venue that bridges robotics, human factors, artificial intelligence, and behavioral sciences to focus on designing smoother interactions with robots. Now in its nineteenth year, the 2024 HRI Pioneers Workshop (to be held March 11, 2024 in Boulder, CO) provides a forum for undergraduate and graduate students to present their work, learn about the current state of HRI, and network with one another and with select senior researchers in a relaxed and interactive setting associated with the conference. Workshop participants will discuss important issues and open challenges in the field, encouraging the formation of collaborative relationships across disciplines and geographic boundaries. Alumni from prior years of the workshop will be invited to participate in a forum with current attendees to further develop these professional relationships. This grant will provide travel support to about 15 students who otherwise have limited travel funding and so might not be able to attend. Criteria for selection include having the need for funding, the timing in the student's career, and the quality and fit of the application to conference topics. In alignment with the workshop's overall goal to bring together a variety of academic and industry researchers, the selection committee will also seek to fund students from a wide range of personal, professional, and institutional backgrounds, as well as topics within HRI. Participation in the proposed workshop will provide an opportunity for participants of diverse backgrounds to increase their knowledge of the current state of the field of human-robot interaction and further, to encourage the participants to continue their career as HRI researchers in academia, government, or industry.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.

人机交互（HRI）会议是一个选择性的场所，它将机器人技术、人为因素、人工智能和行为科学联系在一起，专注于设计与机器人更流畅的交互。 现在在其第十九个年头，2024年HRI先锋研讨会（将于2024年3月11日在科罗拉多州博尔德举行）为本科生和研究生提供了一个论坛，以展示他们的工作，了解HRI的现状，并与彼此建立网络，并在与会议相关的轻松和互动的环境中与选定的高级研究人员建立联系。 研讨会的参与者将讨论该领域的重要问题和公开挑战，鼓励跨学科和地理边界的合作关系的形成。 来自前几年的研讨会校友将被邀请参加与当前与会者的论坛，以进一步发展这些专业关系。 这笔赠款将为大约15名学生提供旅行支持，否则他们的旅行资金有限，因此可能无法参加。 选择的标准包括有资金的需要，在学生的职业生涯的时间，以及应用程序的质量和适合会议主题。 与研讨会的总体目标相一致，汇集了各种学术和行业研究人员，选拔委员会还将寻求资助来自广泛的个人，专业和机构背景的学生，以及HRI内的主题。 参加拟议的研讨会将为不同背景的参与者提供一个机会，以增加他们对人机交互领域现状的了解，并进一步鼓励参与者继续他们在学术界，政府，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值进行评估，被认为值得支持和更广泛的影响审查标准。
