The 2nd edition of Living Machines will take place in London at the Natural HistoryMuseum from July 29th to August 2nd, 2013
This international conference is a Convergent Science Network event and is targeted at the intersection of research on novel life-like technologies inspired by the scientific investigation of biological systems—biomimetics, and research that seeks to interface biological and artificial systems to create biohybrid systems. We seek to highlight the most exciting international research in both of these fields united by the theme of “Living Machines”
Living Machines comprises a week of events including 2.5 days of single-track oral presentations with five plenary speakers; a 1-day exhibition that will include a range of novel biomimetic and biohybrid technologies many of which have not been exhibited in public before; and five satellite workshops on themes ranging from artificial “selves” to the societal impacts of living machines.
Kevin O’Regan will talk at the Workshop on “Self and Cognitive Systems” on Monday, July 29th. Find the programme of workshops here
