BEAM Robotics
The acronym BEAM stands for biology, electronics, aesthetics and mechanics and refers to the revolutionary approach to robotics pioneered by BEAM founder and Los Alamos scientist Mark Tilden. BEAM robots are modeled more on the simple, repetitive biological processes of insects than the complex, human-like operations that are the goal of traditional robotics.
