Summary | The program will provide travel support for international speakers to present plenary lectures at the fourth International Symposium on Adaptive Movement of Animals and Machines (AMAM 2008) which wilt take place from June 1-6, 2008 in Cleveland, Ohio. This will be the first time this event is hosted in the USA. The support will bring world-renowned academics, whose work has specifically set new paradigms in mobile robotics, to research circles in the USA. Although unmanned and robotic vehicles are rapidly assuming a significant role in US military operations, the vast majority of existing systems remain limited in their utility in the field. NPS as an institution has invested significant effort and resources into overcoming this capability gap. AMAM will bring together top researchers around the globe to provide a forum exclusively to address issues of adaptability and performance within the context of a range of operational conditions. Our vision is to bring together scientists and engineers to advance the knowledge of adaptation and investigate system behavior. |
