Biomimetic Actuation Architectured composite materials are engineered with embedded active matter and living organisms to perform autonomous self-sensing, self-repairing, and muscle like actuation. Drawing inspiration from soft actuation in nature with a high range of motion such as worms and [...]
Dynamic and Living Structures The illimited LAB is activating new dynamic functions by transforming conventional engineering structures into networks of topological cells that can be manipulated at the interfaces between the cells. We are applying the mathematical principles of tessellation [...]
Nature-based Robots By emulating the dynamic behaviors of biological systems, we hope to understand the connections in nonlinearities across scales from materials to systems. Connecting nonlinearities across the scales will lead to developing efficient models to replace current methods [...]
