Bio-Inspired Systems and Soft Robotics

Abstract

The Bio-Inspired Systems and Soft Robotics planned program investigates research that will expand the operational envelope of Navy underwater and amphibious vehicles and enable enhanced underwater manipulation. The research investments in this program extract principles of sensorimotor control, biomechanics and fluid dynamics of underwater propulsion and control in aquatic and amphibious animals that underlie the agility, stealth, efficiency and sensory adaptations of these animals. The research efforts described in this planned program were previously represented under the Medical and Biological Sciences planned program in PE 0601153N Defense Research Sciences Project 0000. Research topics include Bioinspired Autonomous Systems and Soft Robotics.
