This NSF project provides travel funds to assist approximately 25 US researchers to participate in the 2008 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), in a time where airfare costs are increasing. This meeting has served as a forum gathering international researchers together for the exchange of ideas on technical problems and their solutions.One distinguishing aspect of IROS, setting it apart from its sister conference ICRA, is the increased presence of participants from Asia. The conference is held in Nice, France, and the transatlantic flight will incur a significant portion of the whole cost of attendance for US participants.The purpose of this Group Travel Grant Proposal is two-fold:- To assist US participation in this key international conference, and- To stimulate collaborations between US researchers and their international colleagues.A strong participation and presence of US researchers at IROS 2008 is expected to facilitate the exposure of US scientists to ideas from around the world, promote their own work, and increase their opportunities for international collaborations and visits. The financial support provided by this NSF project stimulates interaction between US scientists with their colleagues abroad, and contributes to the professional development of the former.

该 NSF 项目提供差旅费，帮助大约 25 名美国研究人员在机票价格不断上涨的情况下参加 2008 年 IEEE/RSJ 国际智能机器人和系统会议 (IROS)。这次会议是一个聚集国际研究人员的论坛，就技术问题及其解决方案交流想法。IROS 与姊妹会议 ICRA 的一个显着区别是，来自亚洲的与会者数量有所增加。会议在法国尼斯举行，跨大西洋航班将承担美国与会者出席全部费用的很大一部分。本团体旅行补助金提案有两个目的：- 协助美国参与这一重要的国际会议会议，以及- 促进美国研究人员与其国际同事之间的合作。美国研究人员在 IROS 2008 上的大力参与和出席预计将有助于美国科学家接触世界各地的想法，促进他们自己的工作，并增加他们的研究成果。国际合作的机会和访问。该国家科学基金会项目提供的财政支持促进了美国科学家与国外同事之间的互动，并有助于前者的专业发展。
