Due to the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 edition of the Living Machines conference will have a streamlined online format to assure continuity of the Living Machines conference, community engagement, and support.<\/h6>\n\t<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_width=”grid” css=”.vc_custom_1481297343700{padding-top: 23px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”12390″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space height=”7px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

About Living Machines<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text]The development of future real-world technologies will depend strongly on our understanding and harnessing of the principles underlying living systems and the flow of communication signals between living and artificial systems. Biomimetics is the development of novel technologies through the distillation of principles from the study of biological systems. Biohybrid systems are formed by combining at least one biological component and at least one artificial, newly-engineered component. Bypassing information in one or both directions, such a system forms a new hybrid bio-artificial entity. The conference theme also encompasses biomimetic methods for manufacture, repair, and recycling inspired by natural processes such as reproduction, digestion, morphogenesis, and metamorphosis.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”12393″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space height=”7px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Living Machines themes<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text]Living Machines activities include a wide range of topics:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Biomimetic robots and their component technologies that can intelligently interact with their environments.
\n\u2022 Biomimetic computers\u2014neuromimetic emulations of the physiological basis of intelligent behaviour.
\n\u2022 Active biomimetic materials and structures that self-organize and self-repair or show other bio-inspired functions.
\n\u2022 Artificial organs and intelligent prostheses.
\n\u2022 Organism-level biohybrids
\n\u2022 Control principles for embodied perception, cognition, and action.
\n\u2022 Synthetic biology and synthetic consciousness\u00a0based on biomimetics.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”12340″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Discusssion on the advances of Biomimetics and Biohybrid systems<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text]The investigation of biomimetic and biohybrid systems can serve two complementary goals. First, a suitably designed and configured biomimetic and biohybrid artefact can be used to test theories about the natural system of interest. Second, biomimetic and biohybrid technologies can provide useful, elegant, and efficient solutions to unsolved challenges in science and engineering.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_width=”grid” content_aligment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1481297335816{padding-top: 90px !important;padding-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column]

As this special edition features the 10 years of Living Machines, plenary speakers will highlight the relevant contributions to the fields of biomimetics and biohybrid systems and help to address two main questions: have these fields evolved in the last 10 years, what will be their unique challenges and expected progress in the next 10 years, and how will they impact society?<\/h6>\n\t<\/div>\n\tcheck out the Plenary talks!<\/span>\n <\/a>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1481296840840{padding-top: 70px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-3 vc_col-md-6″]
