Poster Session and Live Demonstrations

Poster Session

We will have boards available for those attendees who have confirmed their participation in the poster session with the organizers.  The boards which will be provided have a foam-core area of about 3'10" x 3'10".  Tacks will be provided.

Demonstration Session 

We are planning for a number of high-quality demonstrations, including (but not limited to):

 

  • Cornell Ranger
  • Delft Leo Biped
  • CMU tube-climbing robot
  • Fumiya Iida's compliant runners
  • a novel transfemoral prosthesis
  • a number of MIT robots and devices
  • and possibly a few surprises.

 

 

If you have any last minute contributions to either the poster or demo sessions, you can contact the organizers and we will do our best to accommodate you.
