Bioengineering@UNSW

We are fascinated by how animals fly, navigate and solve complex problems!

​

Our research focuses on seeking insights into the sensorimotor systems of animals that enable complex behaviours like flight, navigating long distances, working together in groups/swarms, etc..

Using animals like bees and birds as inspirational and prototypical models we are always looking to design and engineer smarter robots.

Towards these goals, we strive to conduct multi-disciplinary research that crosses between engineering, organismal biology and robotics.
