The research focus of this lab, headed by David Zarrouk, is the modeling, designing, and manufacturing of unique robots. This includes miniature crawling robots and serial crawling robots for search & rescue applications, space, maintenance, agricultural and medical purposes. They specialize in designing minimally actuated robots that are easy to control […]
The use of bio-inspiration to create new products and devices requires the development of new design tools and manufacturing technologies, as well as the education of students capable of using them. This paper explores education tools that emphasize bio-inspired product realization. This paper provides an overview of educational technologies and describes […]
A paper published in Angewandte Chemie, a journal of the German Chemical Society, demonstrated the production of medically relevant chemicals (including an intermediate form of the anti-malarial drug artemisinin) using modified solar concentrators, which capture light much like leaves do. A team led by Timothy Noël, an associate professor at the […]
