U.S.-Japan International Workshop on Intelligent Robots and Systems: Osaka, Japan: November 1991

该奖项将资助美国机器人领域的年轻教师研究人员参加将于1991年11月在日本大阪举行的智能机器人与系统（IROS）国际研讨会。耶鲁大学电子工程系的Daniel E. Koditschek教授是美国的组织者。他正在与一些日本大学、政府和企业实验室的研究人员合作，这些研究人员同意为美国研究人员提供东道主服务。在研讨会结束时，每个主办机构将赞助一名美国研究人员在其机构进行为期一天的实地考察和讲座。除了参加IROS的定期研讨会外，年轻的研究人员还将参加几次特别会议，在这些会议上他们被接受发表论文。科学领域在这两个国家都很重要。所有的组织者都是知名的、有能力的。IROS研讨会将为美国研究人员提供与日本机器人领域最强大的大学、企业和学术领袖互动的机会。由于机器人领域的研究最近在美国放缓，因此越来越多地意识到日本研究机构目前正在取得的进展是很重要的。研讨会还应该为美国研究人员提供一个独特的机会，使他们能够与日本科学家建立研究联系，以促进长期合作，从而使美国和日本都受益。

This award will support the travel of young U.S. faculty researchers in the area of robotics to attend an International Workshop on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) to be held during November, 1991, in Osaka, Japan. Professor Daniel E. Koditschek, Department of Electrical Engineering, Yale University, is the U.S. organizer. He is cooperating with a number of Japanese researchers at university, government and corporate laboratories who have agreed to serve as hosts for the U.S. researchers. At the conclusion of the Workshop each host institute will sponsor a day long site visit and lecture by a U.S. researcher at their facility. In addition to attending the regular IROS Workshop sessions the young researchers will also attend several special sessions in which they have been accepted to present their papers. The area of science is very important in both countries. All the organizers are well-known and capable. The IROS Workshop will provide the U.S. researchers the opportunity of interacting with Japan's most powerful university, corporate and academic leaders in the robotics area. Since research in the robotics area has recently slowed in the U.S. it is important to be increasingly aware of the advances currently underway in Japanese research establishments. The Workshop should also offer the U.S. researchers a unique opportunity for pursuing research ties with Japanese scientists in an attempt to facilitate long-term collaboration, to the mutual benefit of both the U.S. and Japan.
