Program

This year, Dynamic Walking will be held virtually and take on a new form! Three half-day meetings, in May, June, and July, will be home to different Dynamic Walking thematic episodes. The meetings will take place in the afternoon (after Noon EST), with tentative time slots being Noon-4pm EST and 2-6pm EST.

Each meeting will last ~4 hours and contain two sessions:

• Two hour session featuring talks, panels, and discussions which will be live streamed (Zoom —> YouTube)

• Two hour session hosted in spatial.chat for poster sessions and networking

For more information about presenters at Episode 1, check out the Episode 1: (Bio)Mechanics page. Keep your eye on this website for more details about speaker line-ups and poster presentations for Episode 2: (Neural)Control and Episode 3: (Task)Objectives.

For example: limb morphology, actuators, wearable devices, musculotendon dynamics, locomotion kinetics, mechanism design

For example: motor control of movement, feedforward/feedback architectures, model-based and data-driven control strategies, sensory integration, machine learning, short-term adaptation, trajectory optimization

For example: objective functions, economy, stability, agility, robustness, autonomy, cost landscapes, long-term adaptation, behavior
