Take a trip down the microworld as roboticists Paul McEuen and Marc Miskin explain how they design and mass-produce microrobots the size of a single cell, powered by atomically thin legs -- and show how these machines could one day be "piloted" to battle crop diseases or study your brain at the level of individual neurons.

Presenters: *breathes*
Audience: 😂😂😂😂
I am a simple person.
But when i see tiny robots, i jump in.
"Researchers around the world have taken up the task of trying to build robots that are so small that they can't be seen."
Ahh, yes, the future, so exciting and horribly terrifying!
Honestly
Ha. It cant work since the earth is flat! Take that scientists!
i realize Im kind of randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online ?
@Otis Luciano ehh try Flixportal. you can find it by googling:) -braylen
@Braylen Wyatt Thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it !
another useful tech that can be misused so well by some people
It definitely will military will use it to make better weapons
Like almost every other tech
all tech are like that
we should be terrified by this!
look at the bright side.
I am an engineer and IT guy. I understand very well electronics.
We did invented the plastics 50-60-70 years ago, and look now, all the oceans are full of plastics from visible ones to invisible ones (microfibers).
The whole water on earth is contaminated, in order to drink water you have to filter it.
Now in top of plastics will build and tiny robots that move in water or in our body. Do we have a way to clean up these micro robot crap we are creating?
I bet not. Will deal with that later after we mess it up, as usual.
Yes it does have a great potential, do pollute more the water and the planet.
upload that doesn't suck, i am impressed
Cool stuff, now unleash them on the corona virus.
Exactly. Let's see if they can do that
Oh they’re already there I’m sure. 😂
they're more apt to use them to control us.
@Don Corl I got the Nano Injection last Oct. 2019, along with my wife and kids.
None of us got the Corona Cuties eventhough we are surrounded by Zombies.
It might be the sourced of the coronavirus
Anyone else seen 'The day the earth stood still'?
Amazing technology!
Thank you !
I like the innovative ideas ❤✌🏻
Brilliant.
I will use this technology....... I really impressed.....
o- optical
w- wireless
i- integrated
c- circuit
Me really impressed too!
It sounds so cool... until military guys take care of these robots.
This is what I call , Fun Easy Learn
amazing!
rapid reaction : oh that's cute.
5 years later : They are rulers.
Amazing
The dude on the right is like real life Ray Palmer
The photovoltaic cell is quite convenient for a semiconductor fabrication process, just not terribly useful (from what I can imagine), but if the energy cell could turn neurochemicals into capacitor loading, their actuators led them to move and stick to high energy sources (a relatively simple control scheme), and they had an ID’d burst radio emitter mimicking neural thresholds, this could turn into an awesome brain mapper (to use on animals).
I can’t see the potential, without being unreasonably hopeful
That's a fault of your limited imagination and knowledge.
Great...
good to see, you notification
what's the name of the micro organism in the beginning? I need spelling!
You just know that one day the owit will develop a taste for human blood cells and become a robotic microphage because Hollywood has taught us... everything.
Amazing! He is very excited about the day coming, in which these will be commonplace. But with the corrupt, evil people we have in the upper echelons today, I find it absolutely terrifying.
How do you fire such small concentrated solar beams?🤔
Wow, Woody Harrelson and Clark Kent are making some great tech. Keep it up.
Hmm... Is it just me or do these robots look like the „Replicators“ from the Stargate SG1 series...?
Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Woah...! So this is happening...the potential of 'Nano-world' is being realized...😇 (...WOC though-beware of Nano-hazards alongside..)🤔
Create modular robots that can be used as micro robots as well as normal sized one when all those are combined together. Like Transcendence movie
These adorable geeks are how we all ended up with Terminators where our haemoglobin should be 😂
There is nothing adorable about willful ignorance and complacency towards the bigger picture. Of course, I am not referring particularly to the gentlemen in this video. I am more alluding to these "many scientists all over the world" some of which are too naive and irresponsible o ask the more important questions of WHY? Technology has never really been a threat, as all it is, is a tool. Our use of this tool is a more important topic. Responsibility is paramount whenever delving into new territories. We need to tread more carefully. Sorry for the rant.
Such a big channel, but so less people watch it
I see crispin glover in that guy a little
مش مترجم ؟
Put those platinum layers in a suit and have super strength.
I'm in semiconductors.... The his is amazing
Robots inside robots inside robots. Life 2.0.
Now - how to power them off lipids in the bloodstream?
Nanomachines, son!
Here we goooo== Mark of the beast
Jomon Johny as in grey goo? I see what you did there;)
Ok now I'm paranoid and feel there are tiny robots around me...
Lan Anh Tran Ngoc try in you. Now.
There must be something wrong with me. A whole room of people are laughing - but I cannot see or hear what they're laughing at.
It's just an attempt and a form of engagement in today's "reciprocation is more important than listening" world
Good bless 🤝 AI Afiliasi intelegensi to omega the world 🌍🌎🌏👍
So no one here is going to talk about Superman teaching us about invisible robots?
Demons, man
My question is, how would the human body's immune system react to tiny robots in the system?
Big Block Chevy look it up. It’s called m o r g e l l o n s
So, what's to stop them from being used against mankind? There is just too much evil for it to be used for good.
The guy in the right looks like a young Dr. Hank Pym. #antman
TED was filmed in front of a live studio audience
How tiny is the robot?
This is not the answer to our Huna. Dilemma. We need to expand human potential robotic.
Its like giving toys to 3 year olds. The human needs to master itself first!!
Nanomachines son!
Meesed up cutting the mouse's skull off.
I really liked it. I now do believe in India 2000 rupee currency might have them. Still wondering ! Amazing tech!!
Waw
How were you eight years old when you saw that?
GAproductions his eyes were really good back then
He just squinted hard enough
Cool but doesn't seem very practical. In the bloodstream swimming would be better than walking in my opinion.
Both require and use MOTION
I seriously fear artificial intelligence ultimately taking over. Glad I know how to grow food naturally when the global electronic grid fails. True, technology is interesting, but playing God is not acceptably to me. Sorry guys.
It is unacceptably for sure, lol.
does that guy not have eyebrows?
2nd comment huhu
While the lithography has progressed along Moore’s Law, the premise here hasn’t changed since Drexler’s “Engines of Creation”. Also, instead of plagiarizing the semiconductor industry to build bottom up, why not adapt what nature has provided after billions of years of R&D?
First you need microbot fingers.
It wont be long before the take over. The Beast will sit in The Temple
*Life consciousness doesn't come from stagnant inanimate biomatter on the ground naturally. Life exclusively comes from life.* 💯
Aaron Slifka what defines life?

MORGELLONS DISCLOSURE.
CORANAVIRUS
Whatabout when skynet goes online. We dead.
This is so cool, until:
1. Humans began its application as micro weapons.
2. Skynet takes control and/or kill every living things, CELL by CELL.
Bravo to y'all😎
Humanity’s downfall
......nnnnnnnanobots
I really wanted to focus on what he’s saying, but he’s really hot..😳🥵
"Nature can do it. Why can't we?"
Oh yeah, we a so brilliant that can perfectly and in short terms do the things that nature had been working for thousands of years!
Ridiculously and too arrogantly
Can you at least suppose for a tiny moment that there is probably no need to do this?
Or you want to earn the fame anyway, despite all the possible negative effects of your actions?
Isn't there other vital issues to solve in modern world?
It seems like you are not able to grasp the significance of research like this. This might be able to cure many diseases, save lifes and also take care of our food. These are some of the MOST vital issues we need to solve as a human species.
We are also an output of that thousands of years of process.
We are as natural as we can be, we are a way for universe to see itself, discover itself.
So things we do and choices we make is indirectly a natural selection process but instead of it being random selection process which could've killed us all without hesitation,we choose to take control.
Corona is showing us we should be ready for more intense pandemic situations , Nature can't be labelled as cruel but it doesn't care about life and poses danger (look thousands of planets that doesn't support life) and life is all about survival and we are getting ready for it.
And if people like these don't distribute this knowledge with public then government will be the only one with power.
Nothing new. What they show us is old tech.
Why do scientist lack a sense of humor?
