The Mind, Machine, and Motor Nexus program funds fundamental research on bidirectional interactions between humans and intelligent engineered systems operating in physics-based environments. It supports development of conceptual frameworks, dynamic interaction analysis, and innovative technologies to improve safety, efficiency, and well-being in complex settings such as elder care and disaster response. Proposals should advance understanding or technology in at least one focus area and may include robotics, smart environments, or virtual rehabilitation.
