Description:
In the context of the European projects Proto-touch & CONTEST, we organise a unique research school on bio-inspired sensing targeting haptics, audio, vision and multisensory integration in humans and for robots. Approximately half of the talks are dedicated to human physiology and half to robotics applications, so that the participants can build their own synthesis. Registration is required on the website.
