1 May | Dear Colleague Letter: Exploring Task-based Interactions between Human and Synthetic Actors

NSF

The Division of Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (CMMI) of the Directorate for Engineering (ENG) invites the submission of EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) proposals, as well as supplemental funding requests to existing NSF awards, in support of research on the performance of novel and important tasks that require sensorimotor interaction between human and synthetic actors: that is, physical interaction that also involves sensing through one or more modalities. The overarching goal of this effort is to diversify research in this area through the exploration of new ways in which humans can interact with synthetic agents to achieve important societal aims.
