<br class="">
The 8th International Symposium on Adaptive Motion of Animals and
Machines<br class="">
June 27 - 30, 2017<br class="">
Clark Memorial Student Center, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, JAPAN<br

<br class="">
Understanding the mechanisms for adaptive behavior of animals
helps us<br class="">
realizing adaptive behavior of machines, and experimenting with
machines<br class="">
to realize adaptive behavior helps us finding new views on
biological<br class="">
systems. These two approaches are "two wheels of a cart" to
understand<br class="">
the essence of adaptive intelligence. AMAM 2017 is the 8th<br
class="">
international symposium dedicated on the interaction among
researchers<br class="">
of such interdisciplinary field. The symposium covers
neuromechanics,<br class="">
neurophysiology, biomechanics, robotics, brain science, and other<br
class="">
fields related to adaptive behavior of animals and machines.
Previous<br class="">
symposia were held in Montreal, Canada (2000); Kyoto, Japan
(2003);<br class="">
Ilmenau, Germany (2005); Cleveland, USA (2008); Awaji,<br class="">
Japan(2011); Darmstadt, Germany(2013); and Cambridge, USA(2015).<br

<br class="">
Abstract contributions are invited from all areas pertaining to
adaptive<br class="">
motion in animals and machines. Accepted abstracts are presented
in<br class="">
poster sessions. We also encourage participants to contribute <br
class="">
hardware demonstrations, ‘Robot Zoo’@AMAM2017. For details on<br
