Welcome and description of the Meeting Objectives
WHAT DID WE ACHIEVE AT THE LAST TIME:
The Work Flow
UT
UoB
FORTH
UoP
SSSA
Prototypes
Taxonomy of locomotion mechanisms and matching with enabling technologies
PROPOSAL FOR WORKING BETWEEN NOVEMBER 02 AND MARCH 03
Building a reasonable biomechanical model of polychaete and inchworms, and of the GI boundary conditions to guide the design of a working biomimetic device and estimate the influence of different technical solutions
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS (1/2)
Which mechanism for body motion (peristaltic, moving wave, random? others?) • Which type of legs and leg motion (piston-like, sweeping) ?• Which type of adhesion mechanism (vacuum, hooks, glue, clamping)?
• Which mechanical structure for the body (spine, balloon-like, others)?• Which mechanical structure for the legs?• Which shape, dimensions (total length, diameter) and other parameters (legs disposition, legs number, etc)?
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED

BIOLOCH Review Meeting
From Dr. Lacombe:Your project review will take place in Alicante (Spain) either onMonday 7 July or on Wednesday 9 July, the middle day of Tuesday 8 July being devoted to a Neuro-IT workshop to which you should also participate. The review event is coupled to the Twelfth Annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting CNS*2003 from July 5 to July 7, also in Alicante. Please inform before end of February about the following issues:1) whether your project makes a presentation at CNS on Monday 7th July (the project review duration is only 2 hours)2) whether you have a preference for your review to be on Monday 7 or on Wednesday 9 July (we will try to take that into account, but without any promise of success at this stage)
