The "Movement, Displacement, Biomechanics, and Biorobotics" axis of GDR Biomim 2088 focuses on the study of movement and displacement, which are observable in organized behavior from perception and translate action, and even intention. Research in this area is dedicated to understanding the mechanisms that enable migration, evasion, concealment, pursuit, capture, and the ability to move either alone or in perfectly coordinated groups of individuals. These skills have provided those who possess them with a survival capacity, and the effectiveness of biological models can be demonstrated at various scales, in different contexts, and environments. They inspire the modeling and prototyping of sensors, actuators, poly-articulated systems, and "hard or soft" robots, which, in addition to assisting humans in their tasks, contribute to advancing our understanding of life by testing hypotheses derived from biology, neuroscience, physics, and mechanics.

Organized under the auspices of GDR Biomim, these first "Animal and Human Movement, Biomechanics, and Biorobotics" meetings will take place in Toulouse on November 23 and 24, 2023. They provide an opportunity to share ideas on this theme and its ongoing progress.
