Abstract
The objective of this research is to create interfaces that enable people with impaired sensory--motor function to control interactive cyber--physical systems such as artificial limbs, wheelchairs, automobiles, and aircraft. The approach is based on the premise that performance can be significantly enhanced merely by warping the perceptual feedback provided to the human user. A systematic way to design this feedback will be developed by addressing a number of underlying mathematical and computational challenges.

Abstract
Despite the enormous number of fatalities and injuries on US roads from automobile accidents, the design and development of active safety systems tend to be traditional in nature. Current industry standard practice resorts to extensive on-road vehicle tests to decrease the probability of failures. Given the uncertainty on environment conditions and drivers behavior, the statistical relevance of such tests is questionable.

ABSTRACT
Consider the following problem: A robot is instructed in language to find an object (from a generic class) in a cluttered room. For example, the robot may be asked to find an "apple" or a "cup". We take a bio- inspired, active approach to this problem that combines vision, action, and higher-level cognition .
