About this page
This page describes the contents of the lecture "Biomimetische Robotik" (Biorobotics) which I gave at the "Interdisziplinäres Kolleg" 2000 and will give at the University of Zurich (winter 00/01, winter 01/02). It also provides a list of WWW resources related to biorobotics research as well as a list of references for this field, partly with links to the documents.
A short description of the IK 2000 course (PostScript format, in German!) is available here (7 pages, 20k).
The page will be updated continuously. All comments and input concerning interesting web pages and publications will be highly appreciated.
