Research
The D-Life project is a strong international and interdisciplinary cross-fertilisation between different research fields, creating a deep synergy between biology, biophysics, and biorobotics​ for performing behavioral experiments of dung beetles, investigating their morphology and biomechanics, and developing a biorobotic model with detailed body and leg structures and computational motor control based on behavioral and biomechanical data. The DLife project is organized in the following three main work packages:
Work Package 1:
Behavioral experiments
Leading Institute:
Lund University
Contact Person:
Emily Baird
Work Package 2:
Biomechanical investigation
Leading Institute:
Kiel University
Contact Person:
Stanislav N. Gorb
Work Package 3:
Bio-Robotic model
Leading Institute:Â
University of Southern Denmark
Contact Person:
Poramate Manoonpong
With the interdisciplinary collaboration each research field can use the newly developed innovative and powerful robotic platforms as evaluation tools
