Doctoral Consortium at the 2017 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2017)

这项提议将支持在机器人领域工作的美国博士生有机会参加一个博士联盟，该联盟将使他们能够分享他们的知识并与彼此和更资深的研究人员互动，了解机器人领域的不同子领域，会见潜在的雇主，并了解供应商将展示的新技术。博士联盟包括一整天的活动，包括学生的海报演示，如何完成博士学位的小组讨论，以及撰写NSF风格的提案的互动会议。该提案部分支持美国博士生参加智能机器人和系统国际会议(IROS)的旅费，IROS是由IEEE机器人和自动化学会共同主办的两个主要国际机器人会议之一。该会议将于2017年在加拿大温哥华举行，吸引了包括学者、行业工作者、企业家和融资机构领导人在内的国际人群。

This proposal will support U.S. Ph.D. students working in robotics the opportunity to attend a Doctoral Consortium that will enable them to share their knowledge and interact with each other and more senior researchers, to learn about different sub-fields within robotics, to meet potential employers, and to become apprised of new technology that will be demonstrated by vendors. The Doctoral Consortium includes a full day of activities, including poster presentations by students, a panel on how to complete the PhD, and an interactive session on writing an NSF-style proposal. The proposal partially supports the travel costs for U.S. Ph.D. students to attend the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), which is one of two major international robotics conferences co-sponsored by the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society. The conference, which in 2017 is held in Vancouver, Canada, attracts an international crowd that includes academics, industry workers, entrepreneurs, and funding agency leaders.
