Amy has been awarded a DARPA Young Faculty Award.  The project entitled "Choreography of Embodied, Platform-invariant Motion Primitives" will leverage Laban/Bartenieff Movement Studies to develop a system of abstractions for robot control that can apply to any robotic platform and allow for more complex behavior in existing control interfaces.
