Elemental Robotics and Inspirations from Nature

Frogs, mycellium, albatrosses. Unexpected organisms that share similarities with embedded systems! Get ready to embark on a journey through the elements as we will explore robot prototypes that are deployed in terrestrial, water, and wind settings. In these settings, the three organisms will serve as inspiration to describe nature's analogue to the tech behind the robots.

Hi Erin - will you be taking one of your robots to MDRS-261 or will you be creating a new robot for MDRS-261? Thanks

Erin,
Have you read Lessons from Plants by Dr. Beronda L. Montgomery? If not, you definitely have to! I love it and have read it a few times. I'm absolutely captivated by the concept of learning from nature. It sounds like you are too!
