This Presidential Young Investigator Award is for support of               Christopher Atkeson at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.               His research interests are the study of motor control and                       learning in humans and machines.  He uses tools and techniques                  from biological, computer, and engineering sciences to study how                humans control and improve their movement and how machines might                attain human levels of perfomrance.                                                  Atkeson's current research has three main thrusts:                         computational studies of motor learning in general; experimental                studies of robot learning; and psychophysical studies of human                  motor learning.  The significance of this work lies in the                      implications it has for both humans and robots: in the former,                  better understanding of how we learn new arm movements,                         compensate for motor disorders, and adapt to prosthetic and                     assistive devices; in the latter, more useful and usable robots.
