This is funding for approximately 50 students to attend a full day symposium on the impact of behavior-based robotics on over 25 years of robotics research and development, which will be held on Friday, March 9, 2012, on the MIT campus, immediately following the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Human-Robot Interaction which takes place this year in Boston. The symposium's primary focus in on possible future research trajectories; to this end, the symposium will examine the impact of the approach on both academic research and commercial development. For example, the relationship between the subsumption-based robots of the late 1980s and the Roombas being sold today is clear: the Roomba very much resembles the insect-like robots Genghis and Attila in its programming and behaviors. Are there such connections to all robot systems currently under development? The symposium will examine several questions, including the successes of behavior based robots, the adaptations made to this paradigm in order to develop robots for more complicated tasks, and the likely trends in robotics research and development over the next decade.The symposium is structured into four main sections. The first section will address the early years of behavior-based robotics and the subsumption architecture, exploring the initial controversy and early work in this domain. The second section will look at the global impact of the work, discussing related research in labs around the world and how behavior-based robotics have been used and expanded in many different robotics domains. The third will look at the connections between behavior-based robotics and other research areas such as multi-agent learning and computer vision. The final section will explore the legacies of the work, both in terms of research and commercial robot development, and the future prospects for behavior-based robotics.Broader Impacts: Student attendees at the symposium will have an opportunity to meet and network with a community of top robotics researchers, opening up channels for collaboration and mentoring. Faculty advisors will be able to introduce their students in-person to the field's luminaries (as most students will have their faculty advisor present); these introductions, combined with the relatively small size of the gathering, promise to provide a more personal, more memorable, and, thus, more influential experience for the students. This event will provide students with many opportunities for making connections with faculty, with people working in robotics companies, and with other students. These networking opportunities may lead to future collaborations and research.

这是为了让大约50名学生参加有关基于行为的机器人技术对25年以上机器人技术研发的影响的全天研讨会的资金，该研发将于2012年3月9日（星期五）在MIT校园举行，紧随其后的MIT校园，在ACM/IEEE国际国际国际会议上在今年在波士顿举行的人类机器人互动。 研讨会的主要重点是可能的未来研究轨迹；为此，研讨会将研究该方法对学术研究和商业发展的影响。 例如，1980年代后期的基于材料的机器人与今天出售的室内的机器人之间的关系很明确：Roomba在其编程和行为中非常类似于类似昆虫的机器人Gengyis和Attila。 与目前正在开发的所有机器人系统是否有这样的连接？ 研讨会将研究几个问题，包括基于行为的机器人的成功，对本范式进行的改编，以开发机器人来制定更复杂的任务，以及在未来十年内机器人研究和开发的可能趋势。研讨会结构为四个主要部分。 第一部分将介绍基于行为的机器人技术和填充体系结构的早期，探讨该领域的最初争议和早期工作。 第二部分将研究工作的全球影响，讨论世界各地实验室的相关研究以及如何在许多不同的机器人领域中使用和扩展基于行为的机器人技术。 第三个将介绍基于行为的机器人技术与其他研究领域（例如多代理学习和计算机视觉）之间的联系。 最后一部分将在研究和商业机器人开发方面探索工作的遗产，以及基于行为的机器人的未来前景。BRODER的影响：研讨会的学生与会者将有机会与顶级机器人研究人员社区见面并建立联系，开放协作和指导的渠道。 教师顾问将能够将他们的学生面对面介绍该领域的名人（因为大多数学生都会有教职顾问在场）；这些介绍，结合了相对较小的聚会，承诺将为学生提供更个人化，更令人难忘的经验，从而为学生提供更具影响力的经验。 这项活动将为学生提供许多与教师建立联系的机会，与机器人公司和其他学生一起工作的人。 这些网络机会可能会导致未来的合作和研究。
