(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists working in robotics know that nature holds the best ideas for making robots that can perform with speed, agility, and efficiency. At University of California, Berkeley, the Biomimetic Millisystems Lab is at the forefront of mimicking nature. Its lab mission is to harness features of animal manipulation, locomotion, sensing, actuation, mechanics, dynamics, and control strategies," in its work with small lightweight millirobots.
