    From the deep sea to deep space: sea urchin's teeth inspire new design for space exploration device

    Published on May 3, 2016

    The sea urchin’s intricate mouth and teeth are the model for a claw-like device developed by a team of engineers and marine biologists at the University of California, San Diego to sample sediments on other planets, such as Mars. The researchers detail their work in a recent issue of the Journal of Visualized Experiments.

    Wei Lu - A Bio-inspired Neuromorphic Chip for Efficient Computing and Bio-interface

    Published on Jun 15, 2016

    In this lecture on demand, professor Wei Lu details a bio-inspired neuromorphic chip for efficient computing and bio interface.

    In the past decades significant new advances have been brought on the joint problems of scaling neuroscience tools to interface with entire neuronal circuits and defining elemental cell types, but not sufficient yet to accelerate neuroscience. ICAN is an inaugural conference to bring engineers and neuroscientists together to review the recent advancement in neurotechnology and neuroscience, define the need for next-generation tools to move neuroscience forward, and enhance translation of technology to science community.

    MuddyBot – robot mimics mudskippers

    Published on Jul 7, 2016

    In order to study how first land animals moved 360 million years ago, researchers build MuddyBot. The robot was inspired by mudskippers (Periopthalmus barbaratus) and allowed researchers to vary the physical parameters. Results suggest that the powerful tails may have been more important than previously realized.

    How the first land animals moved 360 million years ago

    Published on Jul 8, 2016

    When early terrestrial animals began moving about on mud and sand 360 million years ago, the powerful tails they used as fish may have been more important than scientists previously realized. That’s one conclusion from a new study of African mudskipper fish and a robotic model inspired by the animal. Animals analogous to the mudskipper would have used modified fins to move around on flat surfaces, but for climbing sandy slopes, the animals needed to use their tails to propel themselves forward, the researchers found.

    Biomimicry – learning from Nature

    Published on Jun 13, 2017

    Biomimicry – imitating nature to solve engineering problems.

    From cockleburs and termite mounds to lotus leaves and bats’ wings, nature has been evolving solutions to the world’s problems for billions of years.

    Isobel Ashbey, a Physicist in our Applied Science Group, discusses how recent advances in imaging and analytical techniques empower us to move beyond a hap-hazard ‘inspired by nature’ approach towards more pro-active solution hunting.
