Welcome to Dynamic Walking 2023!

Dynamic Walking is a yearly organized conference that brings together researchers from:

• Bio-Mechanics / Principles of Movement
• Locomotion of Living Things (e.g. human or animal walking and running)
• Prosthetics / Orthotics
• Robot Design and Control
• Wearable Robotics / Exoskelettons

Its main purpose is the exchange of latest findings about anything related to walking and running and the strengthening of our community.

This year (2023), the Dynamic Walking Conference took place in Bavaria, Southern Germany, from June 12 to 16, organized by a team from DLR (German Aerospace Center), Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, lead by Johannes Englsberger. This year’s motto was “Dynamic Walking – a trip through time and space”.

Just like walking can be seen as a trip through time and space, also the main idea of the conference this year was to do it in “road-trip” style, i.e. to move quite a bit (both geographically and physically). Mobilized through two big buses, we travelled the area between Munich and the Alps. Scientific lectures in the plenary took turns with outdoor activities and location changes, providing ideal conditions for in-depth discussions in smaller groups and the deepening of learned contents.

More than 100 researchers and other experts from all over the world participated in this international conference. It was a huge success. Thanks to everyone for attending and thanks again to our generous sponsors!

 

Cordially,

Johannes Englsberger & Team
