许多行为的成功完成有赖于感觉反馈。这次研讨会聚集了使用新技术的研究人员，研究如何对不同的刺激进行编码，如何以及在哪里整合多模式反馈，以及在不同的分类群(昆虫、鱼、四足动物)和机器人中，反馈如何在不同的运动模式(空中、水上和陆地)中调制运动输出。与生物有机体类似，机器人可以配备集成的传感器，并可以依靠感官反馈来调整控制器的输出信号。工程师们经常从生物学中寻找灵感，看看动物是如何进化出解决类似于机器人运动中所经历的问题的解决方案的。同样，生物学家也必须主动与工程师接触，应用计算机和机器人模型来测试假设，并回答有关感觉反馈在产生有效运动中的能力和作用的问题。通过一组不同的研究人员，包括生物学家和工程师，研讨会试图促进新的跨学科合作，并确定未来的研究方向，以开发生物启发的感觉控制系统，以及使用机器人来测试神经力学中的假设。
The successful completion of many behaviors relies on sensory feedback. This symposium brought together researchers using novel techniques to study how different stimuli are encoded, how and where multimodal feedback is integrated, and how feedback modulates motor output in diverse modes of locomotion (aerial, aquatic, and terrestrial) in a diverse range of taxa (insects, fish, tetrapods), and in robots. Similar to biological organisms, robots can be equipped with integrated sensors and can rely on sensory feedback to adjust the output signal of a controller. Engineers often look to biology for inspiration on how animals have evolved solutions to problems similar to those experienced in robotic movement. Similarly, biologists too must proactively engage with engineers to apply computer and robotic models to test hypotheses and answer questions on the capacity and roles of sensory feedback in generating effective movement. Through a diverse group of researchers, including both biologists and engineers, the symposium attempted to catalyze new interdisciplinary collaborations and identify future research directions for the development of bioinspired sensory control systems, as well as the use of robots to test hypotheses in neuromechanics.
