Behind the scenes. What is going on a Saturday at AUTECMS AUT University? Thanks crew for helping us to do good research at @AUTBioDesign AUT Research

I believe our recent Nature Portfolio published work provides insights at the forefront of animal locomotion but also a new technique for biomechanics. It allows to study endangered-vulnerable animals without disturbance @AUTBioDesign AUT University BPM-Australia nature.com/articles/s4159…

Work by Dr Lorenzo Garcia - Now @lorenzogarcia.bsky.social and colleagues @AUTBioDesign outlines a novel, non-invasive method to develop full 3-D kinematics for filming wild sea turtles using underwater drones without disturbing them.go.nature.com/3TxYEvm

Just after completing all my testing for my PhD my dad got this very cool tattoo. Those who know me well will identify unique details related to my research. I would not have achieved what I did without my dad and @AUTBioDesign with support from Dr Lorenzo Garcia - Now @lorenzogarcia.bsky.social🐢🐬🦑🐠🦾

寒くなってはきましたが、小笠原で暮らす子ガメたちは元気いっぱい！お腹もペコペコのようです☺️

#Artificial #muscles are a good system for #rehabilitation #robots in #physiotherapy but it is necesary to reduce the temperature to make them viable. At @BioDesignLabNZ AUT University, we provide a potential solution playing with their length doi.org/10.1088/1361-6… via IOP Publishing

Is this the first #Robotics sea #turtle which completely reproduces the real animal #biomechanics and also a new path to substitute invasive animal experimentation with #robots? @BioDesignLabNZ AUT University #research via Nature Portfolio doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

🐢 Thrilled to share our recent research paper on Sea Turtles and their swimming strategies. Evolution never ceases to amaze and inspire. 🌊 nature.com/articles/s4159…

A Scientific Reports paper presents a soft-robotic sea turtle that reproduces the real animal's form and function to provide biomechanical insights without the need for invasive experimentation. go.nature.com/44ZIKjg

Nick van der Geest, Dr Lorenzo Garcia - Now @lorenzogarcia.bsky.social, and colleagues @BioDesignLabNZ developed a new soft-robotic green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas), providing insights into the real animal's biomechanics during swimming nature.com/articles/s4159…

Meet Cornelia, the robo-turtle developed at AUT to aid ocean conservation! aut.ac.nz/news/stories/m… Dr Lorenzo Garcia - Now @lorenzogarcia.bsky.social, @BioDesignLabNZ, AUT University, MBIE, MBIE Science

Does swimming a marathon a day while eating nothing but salad sound hard to you? 🥗 Consider the green sea turtle! aut.ac.nz/news/stories/m… Dr Lorenzo Garcia - Now @lorenzogarcia.bsky.social, Nick van der Geest, @BioDesignLabNZ, AUT University, MBIE, MBIE Science Biological Heritage Photo: Seasidesaltlife / Wikimedia Commons

To unlock the secrets of green sea turtle power - or how this ocean-going endangered species can swim more than a marathon in a day, while eating just algae and seagrass - AUT University scientists created Cornelia. Watch her in action here nzherald.co.nz/nz/more-robot-…

Thanks nzherald for the echo. Hopefully it will inspire new generations students to join our @BioDesignLabNZ AUT University to study #Engineering to protect and preserve our planet. nzherald.co.nz/nz/more-robot-…

Pleased to hear the echo in Newstalk ZB about the #Engineering we have done at AUT University. Thanks guys, really important for our kids to find interest in #science #Engineering and #savetheplanet newstalkzb.co.nz/lifestyle/tech…

A robot-turtle named Cornelia has shed light on how endangered green sea turtles can swim more than a marathon a day, while eating just algae and seagrass. The research from Auckland University of Technology was published in Scientific Reports: go.nature.com/3KDSE2n

In this work, we use #robotics for the #biomechanics validation of a #prosthetic flipper for #seaturtles injured by #fishingnets AUT University @BioDesignLabNZ mdpi.com/2673-7078/3/3/…
