Meeting of AS4 – PEPR O2R

The bi-annual meeting of the AS4 Consortium of the PEPR O2R programme provided a dedicated forum for recent advances in multiscale biomechanical modelling and simulation. The programme included the following presentations:

• Non‑material Poincaré‑Cosserat equations of sliding rods – illustrative examples, Frédéric Boyer
• From modelling to living systems: soft robotics as a privileged experimental platform – Olivia Chevalier - PhD
• Bending‑compression coupling in extensible slender microswimmers – Clément Moreau
• SPH approach to elastocapillary problems – Luciano Casanova
• Organization of the symposium “Modelling and Deformable Robotics” that is scheduled for late May 2026

Sincere thanks go to the LS2N laboratory for hosting this event, and to organisers Johann and Clément for their dedication in coordinating a productive and successful gathering.
