Vision.
Emulating Biology To Engineer Dynamic Structures
To reveal the elegant physics of form, function, and motion found in nature. To apply that physics to design outlandish biomimetic systems that transcend classical mechanics. To draw inspiration from biology to provide sustainable and adaptable solutions that are material, energy, and sensing efficient.
Mission.
Advancing multidisciplinary scientific knowledge, creating game-changing breakthroughs in adaptive and dynamic aeronautic and astronautic structures for green travel and exploration, and developing flexible robots for rescue missions in high-risk areas.
Impact.
Autonomy | Mastery | Purpose | Common Vision | Illimitedness
The Illimited Lab embraces independent thinkers (autonomy), deeply immersing themselves in science (mastery). Each project connects engineering with positive social and environmental impacts (purpose). Shared lab initiatives are built upon a strong framework of creative ideation and thoughtful discourse (common vision). All of these make the Illimited Lab an uplifting, dynamic space, unbounded and joyful, sparking surprising experiments, artistic creations, carbon reduction plans, well-being forums for engineers, and great friendships (illimitedness). Simply put: “We are a bunch of f!*#%ing weird people doing weird science,” Julius Naehrig, BS, 24.
