Rolf Mueller, professor of mechanical engineering at Virginia Tech, has drawn inspiration from bats to design and develop a new bio-inspired technology that can determine the origin location of a sound. Unlike previous approaches, which are often based on the human ear, Mueller looked at a bat’s ear to gain the […]
Inspired by a couple of simple organisms, this paper presents a novel hybrid bionic robot, called ”particle robot”, which mix a macro-organism and a micro-organism in the same robot. The robot has two main configurations: when the spines are contracted it becomes a […]
BioInspired Syracuse supports research into complex biological systems, developing and designing programmable smart materials to address global challenges in health, medicine and materials innovation. It is an Institute for Material and Living Systems, focusing on four key areas: drug discovery, smart materials, form and function, and development and disease. BioInspired involves […]
When biomimicry is applied to the fashion industry, inspiration goes beyond the look of the clothing. Whether it’s from the NikwaX fabric that mimics animal fur, the orange fiber fabrics that mimic yarn, or the specially designed Brewed Protein materials that allow for […]
Combining hyperspectral and polarimetric imaging provides a powerful sensing modality with broad applications from astronomy to biology. Existing methods rely on temporal data acquisition or snapshot imaging of spatially separated detectors. These approaches incur fundamental artifacts that degrade imaging performance. To overcome these limitations, we present a stomatopod-inspired sensor capable of […]
Messersmith Lab at UC Berkeley is a research group in departments of bioengineering & materials science and engineering. The group studies structure-processing-property relationships of materials in biology, and applies bio-inspired materials to solve real-world problems. One of their ongoing projects is on mussel-inspired synthetic adhesives, which is designed by exploiting information […]
The Biomimicry Center is a joint partnership between Arizona State University and Biomimicry 3.8 (B3.8) that facilitates biomimicry education and research endeavors locally and globally. The Center brings together the established infrastructure and progressive approach of ASU with the biomimicry experience and expertise of B3.8. The Biomimicry […]
