Welcome

An Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Neuromechanics and Robotics

The Tufts Neuromechanics and Biomimetic Devices Laboratory (BDL) is a University facility equipped for research and teaching in neuromechanics and robotics. Work in this laboratory specializes in using non-traditional animal models to develop new approaches to robot control and design. A key feature of the approach is that our machines are designed using biological principles rather than simply mimicking their performance. Learn more >
