We looked at the ambitions and targets in our proposal. The workshops mentioned in it were described briefly and each participant gave an update on their current ideas about their research subject.\\ | We looked at the ambitions and targets in our proposal.

- | Judith described how she's interested in smells and sound in the landscape. She mentioned work by Bernie Krause on how animals occupy different frequencies and form a densely rich mosaic of sounds. She is interested to learn whether this applies to smells too, and could you map phenomenon like these to form a better understanding of **natural signalling** and the semiosphere. Could a better understanding help us design our technologies to be more tuned to natural signalling. She described also the idea of **' | + | **Judith** described how she's interested in smells and sound in the landscape.

- | Theun: Would be great to combine with all age groups. Maybe we could work with Maria Blaisse on natural materials, and with Kenzo Kusuda on the way animals move? We could invite people like from Wageningen robotics or Robird.\\ | + | **Theun**: Would be great to combine with all age groups.

+ | **Judith**: Can we look at different scales? Could we look at microscopic robotics or something so large that we would ride along in it, like we would live in its gut?\\ | ||
+ | **Theun**: Different scales are very inspiring. And your image of people being part of the gut of a larger system is certainly very humbling. I think we should look very broadly.\\ | ||

- | Ivan: We can have an expert meeting and with them get more focus on what we want to experiment with.\\ | + | **Theun**: we have **central aims**; Machine Wilderness is about interacting with natural systems through technology and specifically robotics, so technology that is a unit like an organism is a unit. In my view we'll be experimenting with something animal-sized or prototyping parts and system for that.\\ |
