This award supports travel for US PhD students attending WAFR 2014 held in Istanbul, Turkey, from August 3 to August 5, 2014. The goal of the workshop is to highlight the research on the design and analysis of robot algorithms from both theoretical and practical angles. This gives an opportunity for the students to interact with senior faculty and get feedback on their work. One of the most important aspects of WAFR is its informal atmosphere, which allows a frank exchange of new, previously unpublished ideas; this is a critical component of graduate student development. In particular, WAFR has been an occasion for graduate students to meet and interact with more senior researchers who many times are not accessible to students at other major robotics conferences. The WAFR 2014 organizing committee will select participants and recipients of this travel support based on their contribution to the workshop. This award aims to have a diverse representation of participants in terms of gender, ethnic background, academic institution, and geographic location.

该奖项支持美国博士生参加 2014 年 8 月 3 日至 5 日在土耳其伊斯坦布尔举行的 WAFR 2014。研讨会的目标是从理论和实践角度突出机器人算法的设计和分析研究。这为学生提供了与高级教师互动并获得工作反馈的机会。 WAFR 最重要的方面之一是其非正式的氛围，可以坦诚地交流以前未发表的新想法；这是研究生发展的重要组成部分。特别是，WAFR 为研究生提供了与更高级研究人员见面和互动的机会，而其他主要机器人会议的学生很多时候无法接触到这些高级研究人员。 WAFR 2014 组委会将根据参与者对研讨会的贡献来选择旅行资助的参与者和接受者。该奖项旨在让参与者在性别、种族背景、学术机构和地理位置方面具有多元化的代表性。
