Welcome to DW #22!
Dynamic Walking is the place for biomechanists, roboticists, theorists, and clinicians to discuss dynamic legged locomotion, manipulation, and behaviour. As a small, single-track conference, the focus of Dynamic Walking is on fostering rich discussions between attendees of all career levels. The conference will take place outside Seattle, WA, USA from June 22 to 27, 2026. We will stay in a rustic field station at the base of the towering Mount Rainier.
