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项目提供了旅行资金，可帮助大约25位美国研究人员参加2008年IEEE/RSJ国际智能机器人和系统会议（IROS），在机票成本不断上升的时候。这次会议曾是一个论坛，将国际研究人员聚集在一起，以交流有关技术问题及其解决方案的想法。一个区分IRO，将其与姊妹会议ICRA区分开来，是亚洲参与者的存在。该会议是在尼斯，法国举行的，跨大西洋的飞行将导致我们参与者的全部出勤成本中的很大一部分。该集团旅行赠款提议的目的是两方面的： - 帮助我们参加这次国际关键会议，并 - 激发我们在国际研究人员之间的合作，以在国际上进行跨越美国研究人员之间的合作。他们自己的工作，并增加他们进行国际合作和访问的机会。该NSF项目提供的财政支持刺激了美国科学家与国外同事之间的互动，并为前者的专业发展做出了贡献。
