Welcome to the BIRTH Lab

Our mission at BIRTH lab is to give “birth” to new technologies inspired by nature.

Specifically, we study animal bio-mechanics, physics of inter-facial forces, and robotics to develop bio-inspired smart structures for effective interactions with complex environments. There is a wide range of applications for our research at BIRTH lab including efficient all-terrain vehicles, space exploratory systems, and bio-medical instrumentation.
