We are inviting active researchers studying motions of animals and
machines to:
International Symposium on "Adaptive Motion of Animals
and Machines" (AMAM)

This symposium is organized within ISIFSM2K(International Symposium on
Impact and Friction of Solids, Structures and Intelligent Machines)
sponsored by IEEE and Canadian Society of Mechanical Engineering and
McGill.

PURPOSE
*******
The purpose of this symposium is:
to clarify the principles of motion and adaptation mechanisms
in locomotion and manipulation in view of
biology, physiology,
non-linear dynamics, neuro-mechanical system,
robotics, biomechanics, and so on.
It is forecasted that studies of locomotion are dominant since we
consider motion of animals. But, studies of manipulation are also
important and welcome.
