__________________________________________________________________________

Understanding adaptive motion in humans and animals can help to improve
the adaptive behavior of machines. On the other hand, experiments with
technical devices that adapt to a changing environment can shed more light
on the basic principles of biological systems. We believe that such a
bidirectional approach is essential to incorporate biological
"intelligence" in machines. With the AMAM 2013 meeting we encourage
researchers from different fields to interact and exchange ideas in this
interdisciplinary field.


*** Abstracts submission deadline: 30 November 2012 (for talk/poster)

We invite to submit short abstracts for oral presentation, poster
presentation and hardware demonstration (for details please visit
website). Additionally, suggestions for tutorials on topics related to
adaptive motions in biology and robotics are very welcome.

The deadline for submissions for hardware demonstrations is 31 January
2012. However, please submit all abstracts for talk/poster presentation
(also related to a hardware demonstration) by 30 November 2012.

*** Student travel grants

Thanks to the sponsorship of The Society of Experimental Biology
(www.sebiology.org), a number of travel grants will be available for
students and PhD candidates. Please apply for a travel grant informally in
your abstract submission. Grant approval depends on the quality of your
submission.

Please forward this announcement to colleagues who may be interested in
attending this symposium. Looking forward to seeing you in Darmstadt in
2013! For questions please contact Frank Peuker (email:
