M3X PI Meeting
About the M3X Meeting
This inaugural M3X PI Meeting will bring together researchers, innovators, and NSF program leaders from across disciplines—including robotics, sensorimotor and cognitive neuroscience, rehabilitation engineering, biomechanics, haptics, and autonomous systems—to exchange ideas, identify emerging challenges, and build new collaborations at the intersection of human and machine science.
The Mind, Machine and Motor Nexus (M3X) program supports cutting-edge research that enables intelligent engineered systems and humans to work together safely, productively, and effectively. By fostering bidirectional interaction in physics-based environments, M3X advances our understanding of how people and intelligent systems can collaborate to enhance performance, safety, and well-being.

Thematic Sessions
- Session 1: Advancing Intelligent Machines for Human Partnership
- Session 2: New Domains of Partnership Between Humans and Intelligent Machines
- Session 3: Leveraging Human Physiology, Cognition, and Behavior for Advancing Partnership with Intelligent Machines
