Robert Full: Engineering and evolution

- www.ted.com Insects and animals have evolved some amazing skills -- but, as Robert Full notes, many animals are actually over-engineered. The trick is to copy only what's necessary. He shows how human engineers can learn from animals' tricks.

This is the best channel I've come across on youtube hands down.
lol "Just stick to it"
Very fascinating video, such interesting mechanics that govern these creatures' motion!
Excellent presentation
Video stops at 6:13 here too. I was keen to watch it too :(
tinting the video orange funny guy lol
great section on the gecko with the closeups
Brilliant video
That was /fascinating/. Thank you!
loved this video!!!
wow, inspiring stuff.
Dawkins had a clip from the 80s about such a use. It was referenced in one of his books, I believe. It involved an aerofoil being developed through natural selection.
That was amazing. Can't imagine the state that robotics is going to be at in 20 years if more people start doing this sort of thing.
Apart from everything to do with it...
Evolution = (Copying) + (Nature)
amazing
fascinating
brilliant people, really
5/5
Like a flower, soft, him.
Achoo!
wow thank you
Finally, we'll be able to use the Internet to tell tiny robots to deliver a cold Slushy to our doors.
this guy is my uncle, he is a pretty awesome guy.
thats kool
I LOL'ed at 10:40
This presentation is over 12 years old. Where is the progress in robotics?
you need to do some research. you'll find it, it's cooking a big cake.
Take a look at BigDog, XRL robot or other biomimetic robots. Their development isn't probably accelerating, since quadrocopters surpass them in almost everything. Snake bots are made for crawling into tight spaces where you can't fly.
+x1plus1x that's a great question, big dog is kinda cool but its just a bigger version of this stuff from a long time ago. even the military, who you would think want this kind of stuff for surveillance, planting bombs, etc, are still using WW1 track style robots
some of these stuff are repeated from his previous tok posted in december 2007 like rhex by ted....
[Darth], Anikan Skywalker's sith title was Darth Vader, not Dark Vader, MrJa.
this guy is my uncle he is awsome
I love Rex!
Stops in the middle for me and won't play further. I want to see Rex walk around. :(
Very cool! ★★★★★

Mankind has never and will never create anything as advanced as the human eye. "Under our present state of ignorance" - Charles Darwin
Well, he does live up to his surname
Omg, physicist have discovered the VanderWaals Forces not too ling ago, but these goddamn gecko's where using it since their beginning? rofl, they should have been the ones to evolve.
Engineers will RULE the world
First of all, it's called natural selection not "section". Second of all, natural selection has nothing to do with the second law of thermodynamics nor does it break it. The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy will always increase and is never conserved as you foolishly stated. As organisms(not "orgamis") grow more complicated and organized, they release heat and result in an over all increases in entropy.
Wow! First comment AND first VIEW! I rule!
What the hell are you talking about ? What debate Dortha4822 ? Also, you don't have any pictures, much less sexy pictures to look at. Are you insane? Just kidding, I know it's a bot
^^^^^ no you don't......... really.
lol this mans own evolution speech explains why it's a foolish theory.
Jacob Ellinger ?
Don't try and advertise your shitty videos, if it's good people will find it, if it sucks then it has no views for a reason. Just for saying, "check mine out for a beautiful one" I am going to NOT check out your video.
