2nd UMD Workshop on Distributed Sensing, Actuation, and Control for Bio-inspired Soft Robotics
Abstract
The objective of this workshop is to bring together premier academic and government experts to develop fundamental questions concerning distributed sensing, actuation, and control of hyperelastic matter. This workshop will focus on several themes and specific questions concerning the future of controllable soft matter systems. The workshop will reach out to a broad range of disciplines from sensory biology to robot kinematics and will emphasize working discussions on the state-of-the-art and future challenges rather than conference style presentation. The 2016 workshop will emphasize the fundamental scientific challenges at the intersection of neuromechanics and feedback control. One and a half days will be spent on assessing the state of the art through invited presentations and group discussions on future areas of investigation and refinement of scientific questions. Attendance will be limited invitation-only and will comprise no more than 35 research scientists and engineers.
