ISORA 2008 Call for Papers Special Session on Biologically Inspired Robotics The 12th International Symposium on Robotics and Applications of the World Automation Congress (WAC 2008)
The biological mechanisms of living organisms can serve as inspiration for robot systems. Building robots using the designs observed to be successful in nature can reduce development effort and allow the system to be specialized for specific tasks and adaptive to changes in its capabilities and the environment. This special session is intended to bring together a group of researchers who are interested in biologically inspired robotics. Any research in this area is of interest; some specific examples may be:
Autonomous robots Evolving morphology Humanoid robots Legged robots Locomotion design Motion control Multi-sensor fusion Sensor placement Self-organizing systems
Full paper (4 - 6 pages) submissions in PDF should be made at the WAC
