Mechanical Intelligence Lab, LSBU

➡️New episode with Hamed Rajabi discussing mechanical intelligence. One of the questions: If there is no self-healing, how we can design intelligent structures to deflect cracks, drawing inspiration from insect wings. Find out more in the video: youtu.be/zXrSl52Drf0?si…

I enjoyed this conversation with Hamed Rajabi @harajabi_ @LSBU on mechanical intelligence, insect wings, metamaterial, crack deflection. What's particularly intriguing is the translation of most of these designs into real-world use cases. ➡️The episode: open.spotify.com/episode/6GAtls…

New research from #JRSocInterface: Strong attachment as an adaptation of flightless #weevils on windy oceanic islands ow.ly/ABlF50QaCKY | @Lu_Yi_Wang, @harajabi_ #Evolution

Our latest paper is out! 🎉 Explore how these flightless weevils from a windy oceanic island in Taiwan have developed attachment strength surpassing all other arthropods tested to date. @RSocPublishing royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

🎉🏆 Huge congratulations to our PDRA @akhaheshi at the Mechanical Intelligence Research Group for securing the prestigious UK Intelligence Community Postdoctoral Research Fellowship! @lsbu_mi @LSBU_BioEng @LSBU #ResearchExcellence #Innovation #AwardWinner

Congratulations to @harajabi_ for performing this fantastic research

The study validates the hypothesis that the basal complex in insect wings plays a crucial role in wing shape changes during flight. @lsbu_mi, @LSBU, @kieluni, @harajabi_ nature.com/articles/s4200…

Read our short perspective article on: University-industry collaborations; the need for policies to support academic innovations

Excited to host students from Coombe Academic Trust and show them Biomimetics and design-based engineering @lsbu_mi. They met with professors, toured the facilities, and participated in hands-on activities. An exciting showcase of the possibilities engineering @LSBU offers!!

Exciting venturing opportunity! Please contact us to know more!

Heartiest congratulations to @ben @Joe & @Haider for winning 1st, 2nd & 3rd positions @LSBU ignite 23! @lsbu_mi grabbed all the awards!! Despite tough competition, their ideas rose to the challenge and snatched victory! Can't wait to see what they accomplish next! #lsbu_mi #LSBU

It was such a joy to have Prof. Zhendong Dai, @NUAA_official in our Lab. It was great to share our research and show him around. Nothing beats the feeling of connecting with others in the scientific community. #collaboration #science #lablife #LSBU🧪🔬😊

It was great meeting prospective #BEng students at @LSBU #OpenDay #TasterDay. We shared our work on bioinspired engineering @lsbu_mi. Here students built a dragonfly-inspired flapping-wing mechanism for drones and tested the different designs. #TeamLSBU #RisewithLSBU
