This award support a Pioneers Workshop (doctoral consortium) of approximately 24 students (20 graduate participants, one undergraduate participant, and three student organizers), along with distinguished research faculty. The event takes place as part of the first day of activities at the 13th International Conference on Human Robot Interaction (HRI 2018), held March 5-8 in Chicago, and which was jointly sponsored by ACM and IEEE. HRI is the premier conference for showcasing the very best interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research on human-robot interaction, with roots in diverse fields including robotics, artificial intelligence, social psychology, cognitive science, human-computer interaction, human factors, engineering, and many more. It is a single-track, highly selective annual international conference that invites broad participation. The theme of HRI 2018 was "Robots for Social Good." The conference sought 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/2018. The Pioneers Workshop was designed to 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. 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 were 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 also gained leadership and service experience, as the workshop was largely student organized and student led. The PI expressed his strong commitment to recruiting women and members from under-represented groups. To further ensure diversity the event organizers considered each applicant's potential to offer a fresh perspective and point of view with respect to HRI, and worked to recruit students who are just beginning their graduate degree programs in addition to students who are further along in their degrees. The Pioneers Workshops are 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 talk about the important upcoming research themes in the field. The formation of collaborative relationships across disciplines and geographic boundaries is encouraged. To these ends, the workshop format encompasses a variety of activities including keynotes, a distinguished panel session, and breakout sessions. To start the day, all workshop attendees briefly introduce themselves and their interests. Following the opening keynote, approximately half of the participants present 3-minute overviews of their work, leading into an interactive poster session. This enables all participants to share their research and receive feedback from students and senior researchers in an informal setting. The workshop organizers facilitate the post-presentation discussion and encourage participants to ask questions of their peers during the interactive break and poster session. After lunch, the remaining workshop participants 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) are invited to attend the student presentations and poster sessions in order to provide feedback to participants, and workshop participants are invited to present their posters during the main poster session of the HRI conference as well.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项支持由约 24 名学生（20 名研究生参与者、1 名本科生参与者和 3 名学生组织者）以及杰出研究人员组成的先锋研讨会（博士联盟）。 该活动是第 13 届国际人机交互会议 (HRI 2018) 第一天活动的一部分，该会议于 3 月 5 日至 8 日在芝加哥举行，由 ACM 和 IEEE 联合主办。 HRI 是展示人机交互方面最好的跨学科和多学科研究的顶级会议，植根于机器人、人工智能、社会心理学、认知科学、人机交互、人为因素、工程学等多个领域。 这是一次单一轨道、高度选择性的年度国际会议，邀请广泛参与。 2018 年 HRI 的主题是“机器人造福社会”。 会议从技术、设计、方法、行为和理论等广泛的角度寻求贡献，以推进人机交互的基础和应用知识和方法，目标是通过新技术进步实现人机交互、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。 有关会议的更多信息，请访问 http:// humanrobotinteraction.org/2018 。 先锋研讨会旨在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，让他们接触和讨论多个不同研究社区正在研究的当前和相关主题。 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。 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社交网络，形成合作关系，并提出未来几年需要解决的新研究问题。 由于研讨会主要由学生组织和领导，参与者还获得了领导和服务经验。 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，活动组织者考虑了每位申请者在 HRI 方面提供新鲜视角和观点的潜力，并努力招收刚刚开始研究生学位课程的学生以及正在攻读学位的学生。 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，参与者讨论了该领域即将到来的重要研究主题。 鼓励跨学科和地理边界形成合作关系。 为此，研讨会形式包括各种活动，包括主题演讲、杰出小组会议和分组会议。 在新的一天开始时，所有研讨会参与者都会简要介绍自己和他们的兴趣。 在开幕主题演讲之后，大约一半的参与者会对其工作进行 3 分钟的概述，然后进入互动海报会议。 这使得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）被邀请参加学生演讲和海报会议，以便向参与者提供反馈，研讨会参与者也被邀请在 HRI 会议的主要海报会议期间展示他们的海报。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
