“The great book, always open and which we should make an effort to read, is that of Nature”
-Antoni Gaudi

​

The focus of the Bio-Inspired Adaptive Morphology (BAM) Laboratory is to design, model, and build adaptive bio-inspired structures and systems for robotic applications. These mechanisms are inspired and informed by solutions found in nature and are designed to resolve state of the art engineering challenges.

​

The BAM Lab mission is to:

• Develop innovative solutions for engineering challenges based on desirable behaviors found in nature.

• Utilize novel analytical and experimental methods to design, model, and build adaptive and intelligent aerospace and robotic structures.

• Produce scientists and engineers who excel in performing innovative research in a multidisciplinary environment.

• Motivate today’s students to become the scientists and researchers of tomorrow, especially among women and under-represented groups in engineering.
