Bhargav Gajjar (Gujarati:ભાગૅવ ગજજર) is a robotics scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and founder of bioinspired robotics company Vishwa Robotics. He is an inventor,〔http://www.google.com/patents/US8294406〕 educator, physicist, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, aerospace engineer and an entrepreneur. He studied theoretical physics and mechanical engineering focused on robotics mechanisms at Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda and aerospace engineering, electrical engineering and robotics at University of Central Florida and MIT. He is best known for assisting USAF in developing one of the first man-made, avian inspired, drones called MAVs that can fly and actively grasp and perch on a tree branch and perform local ground mobility on roof tops, post landing for tactical perch and stare missions. The core technology in the artificial hawk was integrated into the MAV in place of a traditional roll out landing gear and was developed directly by copying the musculoskeletal anatomy of biological sparrow hawk (American kestrel) claws. As of 2014, he is focused on developing an anthropomorphic underwater robotic grasper for US Navy's Atmospheric Diving Suits (ADS) and Remotely Operated underwater Vehicle (ROV). He is the president of bioinspired robotics company Vishwa Robotics and his research has been funded by all 3 branches of United States Department of Defense including Navy, Army and Air Force besides DARPA and numerous national and international private commercial businesses. ==Patents== * Parallel Kinematics Micro Positioning System〔()〕 * Bioinspired, high efficiency, low noise, hydraulic actuator * Anthropomorphic robotic gripper for extreme environment manipulation * Robotic device for amplifying leg strength of elderly patient * Highly rugged robotic space suit * Ground mobility and perching landing gear for bird sized MAV * Robotic Diving Suit * Bioinspired Turbine for power generation 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bhargav Gajjar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
