03-21-09 Biorobotics Lab

After visiting Dr. Ritzmann's neurobiology lab, the Future Scientists walked over to the Case Biorobotics Lab headed by Dr. Roger Quinn. Two Ph.D. candidates, Andrew Horchler and Brandon Rutter showed off some of their cool creations with designs inspired from nature.

Testing the strength of a pneumatic muscle.
This is where the magic happens. Everything is created in-house!
Lotsa cool stuff. Note the WEGS (wheel-legs) robot in the foreground and the robotic grey-hound hanging in the background.
Don't get too close!
