The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of Delaware in the amount of $699,641, effective October 1, 2024 through September 30, 2027. The grant supports research to develop improved synthetic agents that can seamlessly co-adapt alongside humans during interactions. The investigators will leverage a state-space approach to study how humans learn to interact with adaptive entities, including both healthy participants and a stroke population, to better understand the mechanisms underlying emergent interactive behavior. This research has the potential to enable more effective robot-guided neurorehabilitation systems. The project also includes a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion by engaging undergraduates and high school students. No subcontracts or sub-awards are planned under this grant.
