Dear Sir/Madam,

CISM (International Centre for Mechanical Science) is a non-profit
institution which, through the work of an international Scientific
Council, organizes advanced schools addressed to researchers. The
lecturers are all well known specialists at an international level.

A course on " Walking: Biological and Technological Aspects",
coordinated by professors F. Pfeiffer and T. Zielinska ,will be given
on September 8-12, 2003. The following topics will be treated:
principles of
sensor-based control for multilegged walking machines, control of
walking in invertebrates - morphology, neurophysiology, ethology,
simulation; structure, function and evolution of the motion organs of
vertebrates; technological aspects of walking; control of locomotion
over complex
terrain in insects and robots; how to build intelligence of walking
machines - design, control, and motion synthesis.

In http://www.cism.it/cism/p2003/annC0311 you will find information
about the contents of the school and the procedures for admission.

We would greatly appreciate it if you would forward this information
to persons or Institutions which might be interested in this
activity. Or could you send us a mailing list with their addresses?

Hoping that this activity can be of interest for you, we thank you
for your kind attention and send you our best regards.
