Movement in Biology: Insect Flight and Reverse Engineering

	Animal movement emerges from a complex and dynamic interaction between neural control circuits, muscle force generation, and a remarkable array of actuators ranging from wings to fins to legs. Studies of animal movement give us insight into complexity of biological systems and, at the same time, provides inspiration for the design of a new generation of robots. Daniel tours the world of animal movement and highlights student research projects that shed new light on how creatures control and produce an extraordinary array of motions.
