Updating the Embedded System of an Autonomous Sailboat
The robotic and bio-mechanics lab proposed a sailboat design in which the rudder control surface operated in the air, rather than in the water, resulting in a dynamically stable sailboat with respect to the relative wind. The boat design has taken shape. In terms of hardware, some components have …

Supernumerary Robotic Limbs for Next Generation Space Suit Technology
… load. Prior studies have determined that the bio-mechanics of a space suit wearing astronaut play a significant role in their metabolic load. In addition to this concern, another key challenge for astronauts conducting EVAs is to have access to a rigid tether to enable them full access to both …

THE NON-ERYTHROID MEMBRANE SKELETON AND ITS ROLE IN MECHANOTRANSDUCTION
… is concerned with questions regarding cellular bio-mechanics and cell surface interactions. A particular focus is thereby on the role of the spectrin membrane skeleton in transducing forces to and from non-erythroid mammalian cells. This spectrin based membrane skeleton has been the focus of …

Interfacial fluid dynamics inspired by natural systems
Many natural systems interact with the interface between air and liquids on a daily basis. Plants like the lotus that have self-cleaning leaf surfaces and animals that intake fluids in a variety of ways are all examples of these systems. Plants and animals exploit interfacial fluid dynamics in a …
