Biomimetic Motion

In the field of biomimetics, engineers, scientists and designers take inspiration from nature as a way of enhancing existing technologies and inventing new ones. Using this methodology, students will design and construct prototypes of robots to rethink how modern day problems can be solved with solutions that have been developed over millennia of evolution in the natural world.
