这笔旅费赠款将用于部分支付选定的大学生参加2004年日美灵活自动化研讨会的旅费，该研讨会将于2004年7月19日至24日在科罗拉多丹佛举行。这是一个国际性的，两年一次的研讨会，在日本和美国之间交替举行。 研讨会将包括为期三天的技术演示，小组讨论和主题演讲，然后图尔斯主要的大学研究实验室和工业生产设施。小组会议为确定今后的需要提供了论坛。研讨会主题领域的例子包括：虚拟工厂，医疗机器人，柔性制造和绿色制造。该资助将使来自美国大学的25-30名学生能够参加会议，并了解日本和美国的柔性自动化技术的研究，开发和实施。学生将从提交论文或担任顾问的申请人中选出。在选拔过程中，将特别考虑来自代表性不足群体的学生。

This travel grant will be used to partially defray the travel expenses of selected university student participants of the 2004 Japan-USA Symposium on Flexible Automation, which will be held in Denver Colorado, July 19-24, 2004. This is an international, biennial symposium that alternates locations between Japan and the US. The Symposium will consist of three days of technical presentations, panel discussions, and keynote speeches, followed by tours to major university research laboratories and industry production facilities. Panel sessions provide forums for identifying future needs. Examples of symposium topic areas include: virtual factories, medical robotics, flexible manufacturing, and green manufacturing. The financial assistance will make it possible for 25-30 students from U.S. universities to attend the conference and learn about research, development, and implementation of flexible automation technologies in Japan and the US. The students will be selected from a pool of applicants who are presenting a paper or serving as a panelist. Special consideration will be given to students from underrepresented groups in the selection process.
