Shock Absorber Design Inspired by Sea Urchin's Neutral Buoyancy

This lecture explores biomimetic design inspired by sea urchins, focusing on their neutral buoyancy mechanisms to develop advanced shock absorbers. It covers sea urchin material properties, the design-to-prototype process, and methods for performance evaluation, including simulation and field testing. Concluding with a discussion on applications, benefits, and future research opportunities, this session bridges biology and engineering for innovative solutions.
