This research is aimed
at developing instrumentation enabling high throughput screening of Drosophila
for abnormal locomotor function. Initial efforts are focus on tracking and
analyzing patterns of fly movement in two dimensions (e.g. walking). |

The Robotable's objectives are to enhance distance
and in-situ learning with emphasis on engineering education. Using the Internet
and new technologies, such as tangible interface devices, more effective
interactions are possible. The goal is to offer
a compelling user experience, which will engage teachers and students around
the world. |

This research is aimed at developing an autonomous underwater robot that mimics the movement of a manta ray. A manta is an incredibly efficient swimmer, able to swim long distances using low frequency wing flapping. The manta is also highly maneuverable in close quarters and capable of jumping out of the water. |

This research focuses on developing a robot to imitate the proleg gripping of the tobacco hornworm. The project is currently concerned with measuring the caterpillar's gripping forces, and then creating an electro-mechanical system to mimic them. It will ultimately be integrated into a more complex biomimetic system to replicate its entire walking motion.

This
research project focuses on developing a robotic end effector with the ability
to unlatch door knobs and door handles. This robotic end effector is able
to grip and turn door knobs and door handles so that a robot can push the
door open. |
