Georgia Tech’s Center for Biologically Inspired Design consists of faculty that facilitate research, education, and training that further promotes biologically inspired design. The program offers K12 curricular materials that incorporate biological principles. This is created in order to foster imagination and curiosity about […]
Changes in structure and function of small muscular arteries play a major role in the pathophysiology of pulmonary hypertension, a burgeoning public health challenge. Improved anatomically mimetic in vitro models of these microvessels are urgently needed because nonhuman vessels and previous models do […]
Origami manufacturing has led to considerable advances in the field of foldable structures with innovative applications in robotics, aerospace, and metamaterials. However, existing origami are either load-bearing structures that are prone to tear and fail if overloaded or resilient soft structures with limited […]
Bioinspired manufacturing, in the sense of replicating the way nature fabricates, may hold great potential for supporting a socioeconomic transformation towards a sustainable society. Use of unmodified ubiquitous biological components suggests for a fundamentally sustainable manufacturing paradigm where materials are produced, transformed into products and degraded in closed regional systems with […]
We demonstrate that shape-changing or morphing fins provide a new paradigm for improving the ability of vehicles to maneuver and move rapidly underwater. An ingenious solution is employed by fish to accommodate both the need for stability of locomotion and the ability to perform tight maneuvers: Retractable fins can alter the […]
Technologies that use stretchable materials are increasingly important, yet we are unable to control how they stretch with much more sophistication than inflating balloons. Nature, however, demonstrates remarkable control of stretchable surfaces; for example, cephalopods can project hierarchical structures from their skin in milliseconds for a wide […]
The Caltech Center for Bioinspired Engineering develops new approaches to pressing technological challenges in energy, defense, and biomedicine by exploiting engineering solutions found in nature. The Center is organized into concurrent research programs that bring together faculty, staff and students from Aerospace, Bioengineering, Biology, Chemistry, Computing and Mathematical Sciences, and Mechanical […]
The Biodesign Immersion Experience (BIE) is an NIH-sponsored 8-week summer program that focuses on the first two stages of the bio-design process: needs finding and needs screening. Selected students visit clinics and companies around the bay area in order to identify clinical gaps where bioengineers can make […]
