Learning Complex Motor TasksThe motor learning project aims to develop a unified theory of how natural and artificial systems can learn to solve complex motor tasks, such as running, diving, throwing, and flying, that entail significant sensory input and the coordination, sequencing, and fine-tuning of many low-level activities. It is based on significant experimental advances in understanding motor control systems in humans and other animals and on increased sophistication in mathematical models of control learning. These models are being used not only to analyze and predict natural phenomena in motor control, but also to derive effective adaptive controllers for artificial systems carrying out complex tasks.
