This is funding to support a Pioneers Workshop (doctoral consortium) of approximately 18 graduate students and post-docs from diverse research communities (e.g., computer science and engineering, psychology, cognitive science, robotics, human factors, human-computer interaction design, and communications), along with distinguished research faculty. The event will take place on Monday, March 2, 2015, immediately preceding the Tenth International Conference on Human Robot Interaction (HRI 2015), to be held March 2-5 in Portland, Oregon, and which is jointly sponsored by ACM and IEEE. HRI is a single-track, highly selective annual international conference that seeks to showcase the very best inter- and multi-disciplinary research in human-robot interaction with roots in social psychology, cognitive science, HCI, human factors, artificial intelligence, robotics, organizational behavior, anthropology and many more, and invites broad participation. The theme of HRI 2015 is "Broadening HRI: Enabling Technologies, Designs, Methods, and Knowledge" which seeks contributions from a broad set of perspectives, including technical, design, methodological, behavioral, and theoretical, that advance fundamental and applied knowledge and methods in human-robot interaction, with the goal of enabling human-robot interaction through new technical advances, novel robot designs, new guidelines for design, and advanced methods for understanding and evaluating interaction. More information about the conference is available online at http://humanrobotinteraction.org/2015. The Pioneers Workshop is designed to complement the conference, by providing a forum for students and recent graduates in the field of HRI to share their current research with their peers and a panel of senior researchers in a setting that is less formal and more interactive than the main conference. During the workshop, participants will talk about the important upcoming research themes in the field, encouraging the formation of collaborative relationships across disciplines and geographic boundaries. To these ends, the workshop format will encompass a variety of activities including two keynotes, a distinguished panel session, and breakout sessions. To start the day, all workshop attendees will briefly introduce themselves and their interests. Following the opening keynote, approximately half of the participants will present 3-minute overviews of their work, leading into an interactive poster session. This will enable all participants to share their research and receive feedback from students and senior researchers in an informal setting. The workshop organizers will facilitate the post-presentation discussion and will encourage participants to ask questions of their peers during the interactive break and poster session. After lunch, the remaining workshop participants will give their 3-minute overviews, followed by presentation of their posters during a second interactive poster session. Senior researchers (in addition to those on the panel) will be invited to attend the student presentations and poster sessions in order to provide feedback to participants, and workshop participants will be invited to present their posters during the main poster session of the HRI conference as well. The conversations between the panel and participants will continue over lunch and during dinner.This workshop will afford a unique opportunity for the best of the next generation of researchers in human-robot interaction to be exposed to and discuss current and relevant topics as they are being studied in several different research communities (including but not limited to computer science and engineering, psychology, robotics, human factors and ergonomics, and HCI). This is important for the field, because it has been recognized that transformative advances in research in this fledgling area can only come through the melding of cross-disciplinary knowledge and multinational perspectives. Participants will be encouraged to create a social network both among themselves and with senior researchers at a critical stage in their professional development, to form collaborative relationships, and to generate new research questions to be addressed during the coming years. Participants will also gain leadership and service experience, as the workshop is largely student organized and student led. The PI has expressed his strong commitment to recruiting women and members from under-represented groups. To further ensure diversity the event organizers will consider an applicant's potential to offer a fresh perspective and point of view with respect to HRI, will recruit students who are just beginning their graduate degree programs in addition to students who are further along in their degrees, and will limit the number of participants accepted from a particular institution to at most two (in which case, one of the participants must be female).

这笔资金用于支持由来自不同研究领域（例如计算机科学与工程、心理学、认知科学、机器人学、人为因素、人机交互设计等）的大约 18 名研究生和博士后组成的先锋研讨会（博士联盟）通信），以及杰出的研究人员。 该活动将于 2015 年 3 月 2 日星期一举行，紧接第十届人类机器人交互国际会议 (HRI 2015) 之前，该会议将于 3 月 2 日至 5 日在俄勒冈州波特兰举行，由 ACM 和 IEEE 联合主办。 HRI 是一个单一轨道、高度选择性的年度国际会议，旨在展示人机交互领域最好的跨学科和多学科研究，其根源在于社会心理学、认知科学、人机交互、人为因素、人工智能、机器人技术、组织行为学、人类学等等，并邀请广泛参与。 2015 年 HRI 的主题是“拓宽 HRI：支持技术、设计、方法和知识”，寻求从广泛的角度做出贡献，包括技术、设计、方法、行为和理论，以推进基础和应用知识和方法人机交互领域，目标是通过新技术进步、新颖的机器人设计、新的设计指南以及理解和评估交互的先进方法来实现人机交互。 有关会议的更多信息，请访问 http:// humanrobotinteraction.org/2015 。先锋研讨会旨在补充会议，为 HRI 领域的学生和应届毕业生提供一个论坛，让他们与同行和高级研究人员小组分享他们当前的研究成果，环境比研讨会更不那么正式，互动性更强。主要会议。 在研讨会期间，参与者将讨论该领域即将到来的重要研究主题，鼓励形成跨学科和地理边界的合作关系。 为此，研讨会形式将涵盖各种活动，包括两次主题演讲、一次杰出的小组会议和分组会议。 在新的一天开始时，所有研讨会参与者将简要介绍自己和他们的兴趣。 在开幕主题演讲之后，大约一半的参与者将对其工作进行 3 分钟的概述，然后进入互动海报会议。 这将使所有参与者能够在非正式的环境中分享他们的研究成果并接收学生和高级研究人员的反馈。 研讨会组织者将促进演示后讨论，并鼓励参与者在互动休息和海报会议期间向同行提问。 午餐后，剩余的研讨会参与者将进行 3 分钟的概述，然后在第二次互动海报会议上展示他们的海报。 高级研究人员（除了小组成员之外）将被邀请参加学生演示和海报会议，以便向参与者提供反馈，并且研讨会参与者将被邀请在 HRI 会议的主要海报会议期间展示他们的海报出色地。 小组和参与者之间的对话将在午餐和晚餐期间继续进行。本次研讨会将为人机交互领域最优秀的下一代研究人员提供一个独特的机会，让他们接触并讨论当前和相关主题。在几个不同的研究社区进行过研究（包括但不限于计算机科学与工程、心理学、机器人学、人为因素和人体工程学以及人机交互）。 这对于该领域很重要，因为人们已经认识到，这一新兴领域的研究的变革性进展只能通过跨学科知识和跨国视角的融合来实现。 我们将鼓励参与者在专业发展的关键阶段在他们自己之间以及与高级研究人员建立一个社交网络，以形成合作关系，并提出未来几年要解决的新研究问题。 参与者还将获得领导和服务经验，因为研讨会主要是由学生组织和领导的。 PI 表达了他对招募女性和代表性不足群体成员的坚定承诺。 为了进一步确保多样性，活动组织者将考虑申请人提供有关 HRI 的新鲜视角和观点的潜力，除了已攻读学位的学生外，还将招收刚刚开始研究生学位课程的学生，并且将从特定机构接受的参与者人数限制为最多两名（在这种情况下，其中一名参与者必须是女性）。
