<p>AMAM 2019, Adaptive Motion in Animals and Machines, Aug 19-23
2019, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland</p>

</p>
<p>Investigating how animals and humans excel at adaptive movements
can help engineers to improve the adaptive capabilities of robots.
In return, robots can serve as scientific tools to explore the
basic principles of biological systems, in particular the
neuromechanical mechanisms underlying their fascinating motor
abilities. AMAM 2019 is the 9th international symposium dedicated
to stimulate fruitful interactions among biologists and engineers
interested in adaptive motion. It aims at bringing together
researchers in robotics, biomechanics, neuroscience, sports
science, and other fields related to motor behavior in biological
and artificial systems. Previous symposia were held in Montreal,
Canada (2000); Kyoto, Japan (2003); Ilmenau, Germany (2005);
Cleveland, USA (2008); Awaji, Japan (2011); Darmstadt, Germany
(2013); Cambridge, USA (2015); and Sapporo, Japan (2017).</p>
<p>Abstract contributions are invited from all areas pertaining to
adaptive motion in animals and machines. Accepted abstracts are
presented in either oral or poster sessions based on assessed
suitability by the program committee. Invited talks and some
selected speakers will be presented in oral sessions in a single
track. We also encourage participants to contribute hardware
demonstrations, as part of the ‘Robot Zoo’@AMAM2019. <br>
