The Workshop on Legged and Multi-modal Locomotion is organized by Evangelos G. Papadopoulos, National Technical University of Athens, Greece, Ioannis Poulakakis, University of Delaware, USA, and Dimitris P. Tsakiris, FORTH, Greece.
The workshop aims to present and discuss the state of the art in legged and multimodal locomotion research, from the biological, biomechanical and robotic viewpoints. Research focusing on locomotion in unstructured, rugged and yielding terrain, on sand, on mud and in aquatic environments, on the combination of various modes of locomotion for different environments, as well as on the exploration of the role of compliance in locomotion, will be of particular interest.
A tutorial entitled “UAV Design for Autonomy: Challenges and Enabling Technologies” is organized by George J. Vachtsevanos, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Kimon P. Valavanis, University of Denver. This tutorial presents a survey of the state-of-the-art technologies aimed to improve UAV autonomy attributes, reliability and resilience to extreme operating conditions, environment uncertainty and other disturbances.

The MED’16 Program Chairs are soliciting contributed technical papers, invited and special session proposals, tutorial proposals, and workshop proposals to be included in the conference program. A broad range of topics is proposed, following current trends of combining control/systems theory with software/communication technologies, as well as new developments in robotics and mechatronics, autonomous systems, unmanned systems, cyber physical systems, network controlled systems, with the goal of strengthening cooperation of control and automation scientists with industry.
We are pleased to announce that MED’16 is now also technically cosponsored by the IEEE Control Systems Society and the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.
The preliminary call for papers is now available.
