The International Advanced Robotics Project (IARP) is an international organization, consisting of 14 countries and the European Union, devoted to monitoring and promoting robotics related technology and utilization. The United States helped to formulate this organization and has been an active member participating in technology evaluations, workshops, and joint study missions. Participation involves US technical experts traveling to various functions, and interacting with their colleagues to discuss ongoing research and developing technology relating to intelligent machines. This grant provides the mechanism to insure that the selection process and procedure for selecting participants is fair, efficient, organizationally viable. OBJECTIVES AND METHODS TO BE EMPLOYED Since the IARP meetings are generally technology specific, the selection of US participants must not only reflect the person?s expertise but also his or her ability to communicate and interact with other participants. The selection process will be performed by an ad hoc committee drawn from the IEEE, Robotics and Automation Society. The traveler will receive reimbursement for expenses but an honorarium will only be provided in exceptional circumstances. This rule also applies to attendance at the IARP, Joint Coordinating Forum (JCF) which is the management, planning, and policy planning body. The representatives of member and observer countries attend this meeting in one of the host countries. A detailed description of the host country?s robotics program is an essential part of the agenda. INTELLECTUAL MERIT OF THE PROPOSAL ACTIVITY The research area referred to as robotics, more generally ?intelligent machines,? comprises fundamental questions about machine vision, sensors, computer science, haptics, kinematics, manipulation, communications and control, and other scientific and engineering disciplines. These research areas, rich in intellectual merit, investigating robotic applications in medicine and surgery, underwater exploration, environmental characterization, human interaction, safety and security and others. Recognizing the societal benefits to be gained by supporting the development of intelligent machines, the governments of the seven industrialized countries initiated the international advanced robotics program (IARP). Although each of these countries has national priorities and interests in the application of these machines, the basic science and technology has many common elements. Forming a mechanism for information exchange, interaction, and cooperation would benefit each country and the people of the world. The successful implementation of the concept has led to additional countries, interested in robotics, joining the organization and sharing the details of their national programs. Since only countries with robotics programs can join the IARP, it differs from technical organizations such as IEEE and others primarily interested in technology. BROADER IMPACT RESULTING FROM PROPOSED ACTIVITY The broader impact of the application of these intelligent machines is one of the primary focus points for the countries of IARP. Although each country has its own priorities, IARP studies provide planners with information about the direction that the research is taking and the societal impact of robotics. IARP studies and workshop reports are published in the public domain for the use of any interested party, private, public, or industrial. The government entities supporting the technical and scientific studies of IARP understand that sharing this information ultimately benefits society everywhere.

国际高级机器人项目（IARP）是一个国际组织，由14个国家和欧盟组成，致力于监视和促进与机器人技术相关的技术和利用。美国帮助建立了该组织，并且是参加技术评估，研讨会和联合学习任务的积极成员。参与涉及我们从事各种职能的技术专家，并与同事互动，讨论正在进行的研究和开发与智能机器有关的技术。该赠款提供了确保选择参与者的选择过程和过程的机制是公平，高效，在组织上可行的。由于IARP会议通常是特定于技术的，因此要采用的目标和方法，我们参与者的选择不仅必须反映出人的专业知识，还必须反映他或她与其他参与者进行交流和互动的能力。选择过程将由IEEE，机器人和自动化协会的临时委员会进行。旅行者将获得支出的报销，但仅在特殊情况下提供酬金。该规则还适用于参加管理，计划和政策计划机构的IARP，联合协调论坛（JCF）。成员和观察家国家的代表在其中一个东道国参加了这次会议。对东道国的机器人计划的详细描述是议程的重要组成部分。提案活动的智力优点研究领域称为机器人技术，更普遍地？智能机器？包括有关机器视觉，传感器，计算机科学，触觉，运动学，操纵，通讯和控制以及其他科学和工程学科的基本问题。这些研究领域富含知识分子，调查医学和手术中的机器人应用，水下探索，环境表征，人类互动，安全和安全等。认识到通过支持智能机器的发展获得的社会利益，七个工业化国家的政府启动了国际高级机器人计划（IARP）。尽管这些国家中的每个国家都在这些机器的应用中都有优先事项和利益，但基础科学和技术具有许多共同的要素。形成信息交流，互动和合作的机制将使每个国家和世界人民受益。该概念的成功实施导致了对机器人技术感兴趣，加入组织并分享其国家计划的细节的其他国家。由于只有具有机器人计划的国家可以加入IARP，因此它与IEEE等技术组织和其他对技术感兴趣的技术有所不同。拟议活动造成的更广泛的影响更大的影响这些智能机器的应用是IARP国家国家的主要重点之一。尽管每个国家都有自己的优先事项，但IARP研究为计划者提供了有关研究所采取的方向以及机器人技术的社会影响的信息。 IARP研究和研讨会报告发表在公共领域，用于使用任何感兴趣的方，私人，公共或工业。支持IARP的技术和科学研究的政府实体了解，共享这些信息最终使各地的社会受益。
