Living Machines 29th to 31st July 2015, La Pedrera, Barcelona, Spain.
The development of future real-world technologies will depend strongly on our understanding and harnessing of the principles
underlying living systems and the flow of communication signals between living and artificial systems.
Living Machines offers the perfect forum to discuss the development of novel technologies
through the distillation of principles from the study of biological systems.
