BIO Inspired Optimal Systems

International Conference, April 9th-10th 2013

Toulon, France

Supported by PACA region, University Sud Toulon Var, Fed. Francaise de Robotique, INRIA, CNRS, Institut Universitaire de France, CART IUT USTV.

In this conference we aim to evaluate the importance of the Maximum Principle for control theory and optimal control, with a presentation by the founder: the Russian academician Revaz Gamkrelidze, co-author with Lev Pontryagin of the Maximum Principle .
Three families of bio-inspired systems are presented, base on this optimality principle

modeling of movement disorders (like Parkinson) by machine learning of electro-physiologic recordings, and the Maximum Principle for a better identification of these disorders, by the Dr. Xanadu Halkias, CEO of In Actu Comapny, USA;
the human movements and the human locomotion control by the central nervous system;
insect perception and action modelization.

A poster session will enable other participants to present their work: see submission instructions here.
The general discussion will be of interest for the communities of control and automation, signal processing, learning, ergonomics and perception-action. There are many applications in robotics: for example autonomous robotics, robotics in hostile environments (e.g. marine), or for human-computer interaction, ergonomics, as well as intelligent software assistants, in particular for people with movement disorders (like Parkinson).
