The Goldberg Lab is designing, prototyping, and evaluating systems that will steer flexible needles from outside the body through deformable tissues to reach specified 3D anatomical targets. Our approach integrates real-time imaging, adaptive modeling and planning, and image-guided intraoperative needle control.

Mating Odondtodactylus cultrifer. Recently we have shown that stomatopods in the genus Odontodactylus can detect and distinguish between right and left circularly polarized light. They also have patches of cuticle on their telsons that produce a circularly polarized signal. Studies in the Caldwell lab are examining how this very private communication system functions.

Our method uses a precomputed dataset to synthesize detailed cloth wrinkles (a) that are layered onto a coarse base simulation (inset). The precomputed datset can be used to synthesize wrinkles for a wide range of poses (b). iHuamin Wang, Florian Hecht, Ravi Ramamoorthi, and James F. OBrien.

Advanced embryo of Ichthyophis kohtaoensis (Ichthyophiidae: Gymnophiona: Amphibia). These animals, because of their derived morphologies, are being investigated by Marvalee Wake in terms of the biomechanics of their feeding and locomotion, the functional integration of neural systems before, during, and after metamorphosis, and several other aspects important to understanding the evolution of their biology.

Robert Full studies the biomechanical properties of geckos which has inspired Ron Fearings work on artificial adhesive. The right images show: Combined Lamellar Nanofibrillar Array (Oct. 2009). Lamellar structures act as base support planes for high-aspect ratio HDPE fiber arrays. Nanofiber arrays on lamella can adhere to a smooth grating with 5 times greater shear strength than flat nanofiber array.

The Center for Interdisciplinary Biological Inspiration in Education and Research (CiBER) at UC Berkeley focuses on how we learn from nature, innovate methods to extract principles in biology that inspire novel design in engineering, and train scientists and engineers to collaborate in mutually beneficial relationships.

CiBERs Core Objective: The Center for Integrative Biomechanics in Education and Research
CiBERs Broad Objective: The Center for Interdisciplinary Biological Inspiration in Education and Research

CiBER:

Will lead the development of a new field of Integrative Systems Biomechanics and train the next generation of integrative biologists.Will innovate methods to extract principles in biology that inspire novel design in engineering and train the next generation of scientists and engineers to collaborate in mutually beneficial relationships.
