Dynamic Walking 2022
Monday June 13 – Thursday June 16, 2022
Introduction
We are happy to host Dynamic Walking 2022 in beautiful Madison, WI! This conference brings together researchers that study the fundamental principles that underlie legged locomotion—be it by directly observing human or animal walking and running, or by designing exoskeletons, legged robots or prosthetics. The Dynamic Walking conference puts less emphasis on navigation, vision and kinematic motion planning and instead focuses on central topics such as:
- dynamic modeling
- empirical data with a conceptual tie in
- energetics
- stability and control
- predictive principles and models
- robot successes and failures
Attendance is limited to approximately 200 people to maximize quality, exchange of ideas, and potential for future collaborations. Participation by graduate students is highly encouraged.
The organizing committee for the 2022 Dynamic Walking Conference requests abstracts for participation. There will be a variety of talks and poster presentations, and we also encourage robot, exoskeleton, and prosthetic demonstrations. Presenters should submit an abstract and indicate the preferred format of presentation.
Venue
Monona Terrace, a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed conference center on the shore of Lake Monona, in the heart of downtown Madison.
