Apparently, the ability of animals and robots to adapt in a real world cannot be explained or realized by one single function in a control system and mechanism. That is, adaptation in motion is induced at every level from the central nervous system to the musculoskeletal system.Thus,weorganized the International Symposium on Adaptive Motion in Animals and Machines (AMAM) forscientist sandengineersconcerned with adaptation on various level stobebrought together todiscussprinciplesateachleveland to investigate principles governing total systems.
