<br>
AMAM: Adaptive Motion in Animals and Machines<br>
June 1-6, 2008, Cleveland, OH, USA<br>
<a href="http://amam.case.edu/" eudora="autourl">http://amam.case.edu<br>
<br>
</a>AMAM08 is the fourth international symposium dedicated to<br>
the neuromechanics, sensory perception, and intelligence<br>
behind adaptive movement in animals, and the modeling,<br>
analysis, and technical development of adaptive movement<br>
in animals and machines. Previous symposia were held in<br>
Montreal, Canada (2000); Kyoto, Japan (2003); and<br>
Ilmenau, Germany (2005).<br>
<br>
The symposium will include a single track of keynote (evening),<br>
plenary, and invited seminar speakers, plus poster sessions.<br>
We will also continue the tradition of a "Robot Zoo,"
where<br>
researchers may demonstrate their latest machines.<br>
<br>
Poster abstracts are invited in all areas pertaining to adaptive<br>
motion in animals and machines. We especially encourage<br>
submission in the three main focus areas for AMAM08:<br>
* Robotics<br>
* Neurobiology of Movement Behavior<br>
* Functional Electrical Stimulation<br>
<br>
Confirmed keynote and plenary speakers include<br>
+ Hunter Peckham<br>
+ Hirosi Kimura<br>
+ Ansgar Büschges<br>
+ Paolo Dario<br>
+ Mike Dickinson<br>
+ Kiisa Nishikawa<br>
+ Kier Pearson<br>
+ Marc Raibert<br>
+ Barry Trimmer<br>
+ Barbara Webb<br>
<br>
A distinguished list of seminar speakers is also being invited.<br>
<br>
Poster abstracts (350 words) and Robot Zoo submissions are due by<br>
January 21, 2008. Notification of final acceptance will occur
by<br>
March 17, 2008.<br>
<br>
Detailed submission instructions will be available at the meeting<br>
