| Course Objectives | This course intends to give a sound background and advanced practice about biomimetic design with an extensive study on a biological systems and a capstone design practice on a similar topic in engineering domain. The course aims to develop fundamental design phenomena of the design in nature. The course aims to bridge biological systems domain and engineering systems domain on several case studies. Students will gain the ability of designing robot-like machines mimicking biological systems. |
