This proposal requests travel funds from NSF to assist 50 US students to participate in IROS 2011, which will be held in San Francisco, CA, Sep. 25-30, 2011. The purpose of this Group Travel Grant Proposal is to make it possible for US students and postdocs to attend the conference, present their work, and forge connections with colleagues from around the world. This year mark the 50th anniversary of robotics. In addition to the regular conference, IROS 2011 will feature interactive presentations, robot demonstrations, thematic plenary sessions on design, bio-robotics, and intelligent transportation, and special-topic symposia celebrating 50 years of robotics. As part of this award, students will also have the opportunity to participate in these historical events and learn more about the field of robotics. Travel funding will be in the form of partial airfare reimbursement and full reimbursement for student registration to approximately 50 U.S. students who plan to present at least one paper at the Conference.The "big two" major international robotics conferences were outside of North America this past year, so demand should be very high from American students and professors to attend this major robotics event. The benefit to student learning and mentorship by encouraging attendance of students by direct monetary means brings large dividends in student confidence, knowledge and expertise.

该提案请求 NSF 提供旅行资金，以协助 50 名美国学生参加 IROS 2011，该活动将于 2011 年 9 月 25 日至 30 日在加利福尼亚州旧金山举行。该团体旅行补助提案的目的是使美国学生和博士后参加会议，展示他们的工作，并与来自世界各地的同事建立联系。今年是机器人技术诞生 50 周年。除了常规会议外，IROS 2011还将包括互动演示、机器人演示、设计、生物机器人和智能交通的专题全体会议，以及庆祝机器人技术50年的专题研讨会。作为该奖项的一部分，学生还将有机会参与这些历史事件并了解更多有关机器人领域的知识。旅费将以部分机票报销和全额报销学生注册费的形式提供给计划在会议上至少发表一篇论文的约 50 名美国学生。“两大”主要国际机器人会议去年在北美以外举行今年，因此美国学生和教授参加这一重大机器人盛会的需求应该非常高。通过直接金钱手段鼓励学生出勤，对学生学习和指导的好处带来了学生信心、知识和专业知识的巨大红利。
