NSF Planning Workshop in Conjunction with The 9th International Symposium on Robotics Research

密歇根大学Koditschek$30,000.00-12 MosNSF规划研讨会-世纪之交的机器人：未来的挑战和机遇这是一个标准的研讨会奖项。本次研讨会将于1999年10月9日至12日在第九届国际机器人研究研讨会(ISRR)期间举行。总体任务是重新审查如何最好地将机器人研究界的努力与一门学科的需求结合起来，以实现其长期承诺但仍被推迟的社会影响。这一任务非常符合第九届ISRR的主题，旨在帮助聚焦和阐明机器人领域未来几十年的智力议程。在20世纪末，似乎值得在该领域未来的广泛利益攸关方联盟中进行这样一次练习。这些人包括公司经理、学术研究人员、政府代表，甚至可能还有一些观察员，如科技记者。将讨论的主题清单包括1)市场，2)材料(机器人)，3)建模(环境)，4)算法，5)人类增强，6)动物学。研讨会的结果，包括在概览论坛上收到的立场文件和批评反应，将包括提交给国家科学基金会的一份公开报告的实质内容和一个移交给国家科学基金会的网站，以便适当地更广泛地传播。

AbstractIIS-9815084Koditschek, DanUniversity of Michigan$30,000.00 - 12 mosNSF Planning Workshop --- Robotics at the Turn of the Century: Challenges and Opportunities AheadThis is a standard workshop award. This workshop will be held currently with the 9th International Symposium on Robotics Research ((ISRR), October 9-12, 1999. The overall mandate is to re-examine how to best align the efforts of the robotics research community with the needs of a discipline to achieve its long promised but still delayed social impact. This mandate fits well within the theme of the 9th ISRR, designed to help focus and articulate the next decades' intellectual agenda in the field of robotics. At the close of the 20th century, it seems well worth such an exercise in the ensemble of a broad coalition of general stakeholders in the future of the field. These include corporate managers, academic researchers, government representatives, and perhaps even some observers such as science/technology reporters. A list of topics to be discussed includes 1) markets, 2) materials (of robots) , 3) modeling (of environments), 4) algorithms, 5) human augmentation, and 6) zoomorphism. Findings of the workshop, including position papers and critical reactions they received at the overview forums, will comprise the substance of a public report to the NSF and a website turned over to the NSF for appropriate wider dissemination.
