Bio-inspired Flight System and Bio-inspired Autonomous System

Overview

Bio-inspired engineering seeks sustainable solutions by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies. This new big engineering combines the disciplines of biology and technology or other field of innovation with the goal of solving practical problems through the abstraction, transfer, and application of knowledge gained from biological systems. Bio-inspired flight system presents one of the sophisticated and exciting ventures in biomimetics, integrating different aspects cross biology, computing, mechanical, and aeronautical engineering, which offers promises to design smart and multi-functional autonomous systems and robots for many great engineering applications.

Following a five-day intensive course (24 - 28 Nov 2014) in bio-inspired flight system, we have lined up an excellent list of speakers from North America and Asia for this focused program from various sub-disciplines related to bio-inspired autonomous system. We look forward to welcoming you to IAS and to join this exciting program to brainstorm, interact and discuss timely research topics in bio-inspired flight system and bio-inspired autonomous system.
