Living Machines 2018
Living Machines is holding its 7th conference in Paris in July 2018. This international conference is targeted at the intersection of research on novel life-like technologies inspired by the scientific investigation of biological systems—biomimetics, and research that seeks to interface biological and artificial systems to create biohybrid systems. We seek to highlight the most exciting international research in both of these fields united by the theme of “Living Machines”.
The following are some examples of “Living Machines” as featured at past conferences:
- Biomimetic robots and their component technologies (sensors, actuators, processors) that can intelligently interact with their environments
- Active biomimetic materials and structures that self-organize and self-repair
- Nature-inspired designs and manufacturing processes
- Biomimetic computers—neuromimetic emulations of the physiological basis for intelligent behavior
- Biohybrid brain–machine interfaces and neural implants
- Artificial organs and body-parts including sensory organ-chip hybrids and intelligent prostheses
- Organism-level biohybrids such as robot–animal or robot–human systems
