Motivation It is our dream to understand the principles of animals'
remarkable ability for adaptive motion and to transfer such
abilities to a robot. Up to now, mechanisms for generation and
control of stereotyped motions and adaptive motions in well-known
simple environments have been formulated to some
extentandsuccessfullyappliedtorobots.However,
principlesofadaptationto variousenvironmentshavenotyetbeenclari?ed,
andautonomousadaptation remains unsolved as a seriously di?cult
problem in robotics. Apparently, the ability of animals and robots
to adapt in a real world cannot be explained or realized by one
single function in a control system and mechanism. That is,
adaptation in motion is induced at every level from
thecentralnervoussystemtothemusculoskeletalsystem.Thus, weorganized
the International Symposium on Adaptive Motion in Animals and
Machines(AMAM)forscientistsandengineersconcernedwithadaptation

to investigate principles governing total systems. History AMAM
started in Montreal (Canada) in August 2000. It was organized by H.
Kimura (Japan), H. Witte (Germany), G. Taga (Japan), and K. Osuka
(Japan), who had agreed that having a small symposium on motion
control, with people from several ?elds coming together to discuss
speci?c issues, was worthwhile. Those four organizing committee
members determined the scope of AMAM as follows."
