Birch and Cobb assert that «the ultimate
mechanical model involves «disecting the organism down to its constituent
controlling mechanisms and building it up from these building blocks» (LL 69).
This inherent optical adaptation of the lens is passive, avoiding the use of complex
mechanical or electrical
mechanisms to independently
control each lens of the array.
On behalf of the University of Twente (UT), Raffaella Carloni and other members of the Robotics and Mechatronics group (CTIT institute) and the LEO Centre for Service Robotics are working on the

A range of research interests are possible within the themes of bioinspired robotics and medical device design; however, it is expected that
mechanical design, robot
control, biomechanical modeling of biological systems,
mechanism design and kinematic analysis, device characterization and optimization, bioengineering as well as experimental / analytical mechanics will be key features of the research.
Whereas there has been extensive work on the neural
mechanisms that subserve voluntary limb movement, comparatively little is known about how the motor system modulates the
mechanical properties of the limb through the neural
control of limb stiffness.
