AFOSR XROMM System Arrived
The XROMM system arrived! This medical system consists of two fluoroscopes
with 16” intensifiers that enable us to image skeletal motion of freely flying
birds at high frame rates of 1000 fps or more in 3D. The setup
was sponsored by a DURIP from AFOSR to determine how bird wings morph and
inspire next generation morphing wings in a major project with labs at
Stanford, UBC, UCLA, Texas A&M, and
U. Michigan. The multi university project
is under the
general leadership of AFOSR and U. Michigan, our lab is leading
the bird research effort in collaboration with UBC.
