WORKSHOP: The Pioneers Workshop at the 2019 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction

这笔资金用于支持一个由大约21名学生(18名研究生参与者、1名本科生参与者和2名学生组织者)以及杰出的研究人员组成的先锋研讨会(博士联盟)。这一全天的活动将作为第14届人类机器人互动国际会议(HRI 2019)第一天活动的一部分，该会议将于3月11日至14日在韩国大邱举行，由ACM和IEEE联合主办。HRI是展示关于人-机器人交互的最好的跨学科和多学科研究的主要会议，根植于不同的领域，包括机器人学、人工智能、社会心理学、认知科学、人机交互、人类因素、工程学等。这是一个邀请广泛参与的单一轨道、高度选择性的年度国际会议。2019年HRI的主题是“协作的HRI”。会议从广泛的角度寻求贡献，包括技术、设计、方法论、行为和理论，促进人与机器人交互的基础和应用知识和方法，目标是通过新的技术进步、新颖的机器人设计、新的设计指南以及理解和评估交互的先进方法实现人与机器人的交互。有关会议的更多信息可在http://humanrobotinteraction.org/2019.The先锋研讨会上在线获得，该研讨会旨在通过提供一个独特的机会，让人-机器人交互领域的最优秀的下一代研究人员接触和讨论当前和相关的主题，因为这些主题正在几个不同的研究社区进行研究。鼓励参与者在他们自己的专业发展的关键阶段与高级研究人员建立一个社交网络，形成合作关系，并产生新的研究问题，以便在未来几年内解决这些问题。学员还可以获得领导力和服务经验，因为研讨会主要由学生组织和学生主导。讲习班为HRI领域的学生和新近毕业的学生提供了一个论坛，让他们与同行和资深研究人员小组分享他们目前的研究成果，其环境不像主要会议那样正式，更具互动性。在研讨会期间，与会者讨论了即将在该领域进行的重要研究主题。鼓励形成跨越学科和地理边界的协作关系。为此，研讨会形式包括各种活动，包括主旨演讲、杰出小组会议和分组会议。在这一天的开始，所有的研讨会参与者简要介绍他们自己和他们的兴趣。在开幕主旨演讲之后，大约一半的与会者对他们的工作进行了3分钟的概述，开始了一个互动的海报会议。这使得所有参与者都可以在非正式的环境中分享他们的研究成果，并从学生和资深研究人员那里获得反馈。午餐后，其余的工作坊参与者将发表3分钟的概述，然后在第二次互动海报会议上展示他们的海报。高级研究人员(除小组成员外)被邀请参加学生陈述和海报会议，以便向与会者提供反馈，讲习班参与者也被邀请在人力资源研究所会议的主海报会议期间展示他们的海报。这一天将以工作晚餐结束，进行一般性讨论、反思和职业建议，这将促进建立联系。组织者坚定地致力于从代表性不足的群体中招募妇女和成员，并吸引来自世界不同领域和不同研究领域的学生和博士后。为了进一步确保多样性，一所学校将接受不超过两名学生参与者，如果两名参与者被接受，则至少其中一名参与者必须是女性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This is funding to support a Pioneers Workshop (doctoral consortium) of approximately 21 students (18 graduate participants, one undergraduate participant, and two student organizers), along with distinguished research faculty. This full-day event will take place as part of the first day of activities at the 14th International Conference on Human Robot Interaction (HRI 2019), to be held March 11-14 in Daegu, South Korea, and which is jointly sponsored by ACM and IEEE. HRI is the premier conference for showcasing the very best interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research on human-robot interaction, with roots in diverse fields including robotics, artificial intelligence, social psychology, cognitive science, human-computer interaction, human factors, engineering, and many more. It is a single-track, highly selective annual international conference that invites broad participation. The theme of HRI 2019 is "Collaborative HRI." The conference seeks contributions from a broad set of perspectives, including technical, design, methodological, behavioral, and theoretical, that advance fundamental and applied knowledge and methods in human-robot interaction, with the goal of enabling human-robot interaction through new technical advances, novel robot designs, new guidelines for design, and advanced methods for understanding and evaluating interaction. More information about the conference is available online at http://humanrobotinteraction.org/2019.The Pioneers Workshop is designed to complement the conference by affording a unique opportunity for the best of the next generation of researchers in human-robot interaction to be exposed to and discuss current and relevant topics as they are being studied in several different research communities. Participants are encouraged to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development, to form collaborative relationships, and to generate new research questions to be addressed during the coming years. Participants also gain leadership and service experience, as the workshop is largely student organized and student led. The workshop provides a forum for students and recent graduates in the field of HRI to share their current research with their peers and a panel of senior researchers in a setting that is less formal and more interactive than the main conference. During the workshop, participants talk about the important upcoming research themes in the field. The formation of collaborative relationships across disciplines and geographic boundaries is encouraged. To these ends, the workshop format encompasses a variety of activities including keynotes, a distinguished panel session, and breakout sessions. To start the day, all workshop attendees briefly introduce themselves and their interests. Following the opening keynote, approximately half of the participants present 3-minute overviews of their work, leading into an interactive poster session. This enables all participants to share their research and receive feedback from students and senior researchers in an informal setting. After lunch, the remaining workshop participants give their 3-minute overviews, followed by presentation of their posters during a second interactive poster session. Senior researchers (in addition to those on the panel) are invited to attend the student presentations and poster sessions in order to provide feedback to participants, and workshop participants are invited to present their posters during the main poster session of the HRI conference as well. The day will end with a working dinner for general discussion, reflection and career advice, which will facilitate networking. The organizers have a strong commitment to recruiting women and members from under-represented groups, and to attracting students and postdocs from different areas of the world and from diverse areas of research. To further ensure diversity, no more than two student participants will be accepted from a particular institution, and if two are accepted then at least one of the participants must be female.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
