Learning from Insects and the Natural World
How can roboticists learn from insects and the natural world?
Dr. Temel and her research team develop ways to use robots in surgery, search-and-rescue missions, multi-agent systems, and micromanipulation. In this lunch and talk, scholars were exposed to nano/microrobots, how they are inspired by a variety of small organisms, and the challenges of precisely fabricating micro-scale components that perform with the same speed and power as their biological inspiration.

Dr. Zeynep Temel, Assistant Professor, specializes in extreme motions of small-scale natural and synthetic systems. She studies the way small creatures transfer their energy to a large scale and how these same methods can be imitated through unconventional robotics applications.
