MII Planning Proposal: Center for Perceptual Robotics at the City College of New York

CNS-0424539MII规划建议：纽约城市学院感知机器人中心。该项目计划在纽约城市学院建立感知机器人中心。其目标是使CCNY成为尖端研究的卓越中心和机器人和计算机视觉领域少数民族教育的全国城市典范。计划任务包括：1)促进教职员工在感知机器人方面的合作研究；2)引入新的课程和外联活动，以吸引和留住少数族裔本科生，并为他们的研究生教育做好准备；3)研究方法，以加强教师对指导活动的参与；4)制定评估计划，包括研究成果指标和教育效果指标；以及5)组织一个咨询委员会。该项目包括与纽约市-LSAMP(路易斯·斯托克斯少数民族参与联盟)计划和纽约科学院夏季研究培训计划(SRTP)的合作。特别是，该中心将作为SRTP计划中高中实习生的研究培训场所，并将为LSAMP学者提供指导研究经验。该规划项目支持对主要研究机构以及具有成功实施多边投资倡议模式的机构的访问。其他规划活动包括在CCNY推出机器人和计算机视觉系列讲座，改革高级顶石设计课程，成立学生机器人俱乐部，以及学生参加国际机器人设计比赛。

CNS-0424539MII Planning Proposal: Center for perceptual robotics at the City College of New York.This project is planning for the establishment of the Perceptual Robotics Center at the City College of New York. The aims are to make CCNY a center of excellence in cutting-edge research and a national urban model for minority education in the fields of robotics and computer vision. The planning tasks include: 1) fostering collaborative research in perceptual robotics among faculty members; 2) introducing new courses and outreach activities to attract and retain minority undergraduates and to prepare them for graduate education; 3) studying methods to enhance faculty involvement in mentoring activities; 4) developing an evaluation plan with research achievement metrics and educational effectiveness metrics; and 5) organizing an advisory committee. The project includes cooperation with the NYC-LSAMP (Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation) program and New York Academy of Sciences Summer Research Training Program (SRTP). In particular, the center will serve as a research-training site for high school interns in the SRTP program and will provide mentored research experiences to LSAMP scholars. The planning project supports visits to leading research institutions as well as institutions with successful MII implementation models. Other planning activities include the launch of a robotics and computer vision lecture series at CCNY, the reform of senior capstone design courses, the initiation of a student robotics club, and the participation of students in international robotics design competitions.
