Welcome to the BIRTH Lab<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n

We study animal bio-mechanics, physics of interfacial forces, and robotics to develop bio-inspired smart structures for effective interactions with complex environments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our mission at BIRTH lab<\/strong> is to give “birth” to new technologies inspired by nature.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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,\u00a0including efficient all-terrain vehicles, space exploratory systems, and biomedical instrumentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
