12th Machine-Ground Interaction Consortium (MaGIC) meeting

From Dan Negrut:

Together with my lab mate Radu Serban, I would like to invite you to attend the 12th edition of the Machine-Ground Interaction Consortium (MaGIC) meeting. This face-to-face event will be held on September 11-12 at UW-Madison. This year, we will emphasize AI and Digital Twin technologies in terramechanics, mechatronics, autonomy, and bio-robotics, touching on both terrestrial and extraterrestrial applications. This is a very informal event that seeks to bring together individuals from industry, academia, and research labs.
