locomotion

My group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Shiv Nadar University has an open JRF position funded by Naval Research Board DRDO. The successful candidate may get the opportunity to enroll in the Ph.D. program starting in Monsoon 2022, subject to fulfilling the requirements.

Many living organisms undergo conspicuous or abrupt changes in bodystructure, which is often accompanied by a behavioral change. Inspired bythe natural metamorphosis, robotic systems can be designed as reconfigurableto be multifunctional. Here, a tissue-engineered transformable robot isdeveloped, which can be remotely controlled to assume different mechanicalstructures for switching locomotive function.
