<p class="MsoNormal">The BIRRIB workshop is jointly organized by two HFSP (Human Frontier Science Program)-funded projects:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Biology-inspired robotics: A dung beetle’s life “how miniature creatures perform extraordinary feats with limited resources” (<a href="http://dlife.sdu.dk/">http://dlife.sdu.dk/</a>),<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Robotics-inspired biology: Decoding flexibility of motor control by studying amphibious locomotion.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The workshop aims to present and discuss how robotics and biology can effectively interact to gain a better understanding of the principles underlying complex biological behaviors and to develop a novel bio-inspired robotic technology for
solving complex sensorimotor coordination and control problems of systems with many degrees of freedom.<o:p></o:p></p>
