Intelligent Machines? – Self-organized Nonlinear Dynamics of Machines across Scales

International Workshop
20 - 24 June 2022

From the internet of things to smart phones and from autonomous vehicles to robotic medicine, the world we interact with becomes increasingly autonomous. We aim to bring together researchers from nonlinear dynamics and complex systems science with those from smart systems’ design and robotic engineering to further our understanding of the dynamics of complex multi-dimensional "intelligent" machines.

Topics include

  • collective dynamics of machines
  • data analytics and machine learning for real world interactions
  • smart materials
  • soft robotics
  • micro and nanosystems and robots
  • autonomous locomotion
  • embodied AI
  • interacting infrastructure
  • nonlinear vibrations
  • distributed imaging and sensing
  • theory for systems design
  • interacting machines
  • robotic medicine
  • complex machine dynamics
