Welcome to the BIRTH Lab
We study animal bio-mechanics, physics of interfacial forces, and robotics to develop bio-inspired smart structures for effective interactions with complex environments
Our mission at BIRTH lab is to give “birth” to new technologies inspired by nature.
Specifically, we study animal bio-mechanics, physics of interfacial forces, and robotics to develop bio-inspired smart structures for effective interactions with complex environments. There is a wide range of applications for our research at the BIRTH lab, including efficient all-terrain vehicles, space exploratory systems, and biomedical instrumentation.
