With more research on hummingbird flight precision and its everyday implications, having drones that can effectively examine natural uncharted territories might happen sooner than previously believed. These drone advancements can be applied to weather monitoring, parcel shipping and even cinematography.

The program consists of three modules: biodigital, synthetic biology and biomimicry. Each module started with inspirational talks, followed by hands-on laboratory session/fieldwork, and finished with design challenges that encourage the students to ideate and prototype their ideas. The outcomes of Hack Biodesign showed that we could stimulate the students to develop novel interdisciplinary projects
This connection describes the annual Institute of Biological Engineering occurring virtually April 9-10th 2021. The IBE Annual Conference is a gathering of the world’s leading researchers and educators in biological engineering, who share a passion for building a better future.The conference is an excellent opportunity to develop professional skills and network with peers in the […]
This paper investigates the aerodynamics of the boxfish to discover if the boxfish shape can be adapted for achieving low drag and energy efficient motor vehicle design. Through the usage of CAD modeling and CFD modeling data, this data proved that indicates that the drag coefficient of a boxfish is around […]
Paper, Ground sampler based on Sea Urchin Jaws
This research paper explores the possibility of using design ideas taken from the sea urchins’ mouth to build ground biopsy harvesters. Called Aristotle’s lantern, the mouth of sea urchins are composed of five calcium carbonate teeth that are arranged in a dome-like foundation. This shape that has the teeth protrude outwards […]
