So, in the future when I'm trapped under a collapsed building, I can die while being entertained by one robot that keeps crashing into walls, and another that flops around while changing colors.

Those are evolutionary advancements and most are focused on recharge time due to market demand. However, storage capacity hasn't really jumped all that much. It's fine when we are talking about phones and electric cars that is idle for long periods, but complex independent robots would require large capacity batteries too for extended use away from a charging point.

+Joseph Fox Lamar! Get down from there!

The robot knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the robot from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn't.

Nobody calls it biomimicry, because that is the general term for mimicing biology. It's called Biomimetics when referring to the field of study in robotics.

@AvonaStar

6 жыл бұрын

doing a quick google search and looking at the first 5 or so results shows that biomimicry and biomimetics are interchangeable. Dictionary definition from webster for biomimetics: "the study of the formation, structure, or function of biologically produced substances and materials (such as enzymes or silk) and biological mechanisms and processes (such as protein synthesis or photosynthesis) especially for the purpose of synthesizing similar products by artificial mechanisms which mimic natural ones" Nature ("International Journal of Science") magazine search turns up non-robotic results: www.nature.com/subjects/biomimetics

That little robot at the end made me think of how people have tried making suits and things that cloak by using cameras and such to show a picture of what's behind it on the surface, but what if it was more like the robot and you had a pack that had the compressor/pump stuff in it and the suit acting much like one of those cool suits that pumps water but have it be clear and send coloured stuff through to do camouflage?

"Are you sure it's not the Iron Giant, because it usually is."

they did the intro so far into the episode and at such a point that at 0:48 I was like "End credits? Whaaaat? O.O"

My personal favorite is robots designed around augmenting human abilities. Ekso Bionics makes a robotic suit that can fit under military clothes and transfer loads to the ground via steadycam like technology mixed with custom build hydraulic systems that minimize effort bearing. This suit has been being worked on for years now, but is still actively being granted funds as it is the main component of the SOCOM Talos suit. They also sell their tech to Otto Bock more recently. I think the best part about the company now is their rehab suit. A UCLA study on 'neuromodulation' actually showed someone being delivered non-invasive spinal cord stimulation while walking in this suit - and then they later WERE NO LONGER FULLY PARALYZED and got some motor control of their legs back. The UCLA study only came out less than a month ago. I believe the ramifications of this will be realized soon; it will change the world.

This is an obscure reference - But the jumping robot made me think of a game called Distance. It’s a racing game but the car is capable of jumping and doing tons of air tricks by using jet propulsion. Here’s to hoping we someday have jumping cars!

I like this idea that the most advance technology is looking back toward nature for its model

A 9 minute Scishow episode? Awww yissssss

I can't unsee the video compression distorting the background.

The AirBurr is my spirit animal.

Love this show, keep up the good work SciShow Squad!!!!

When you see a bug flying round a light clumsily, I read once that they get really confused because they assume that the bright light is the moon, and navigate around it like that. This messes them up a lot

I love! the in-video citations! Great idea!

One of the most interesting parts of this video was that a team of Chinese scientists at a Japanese university called their creation “Swumanoid” which is indeed a kick ass name but shows a pretty sophisticated understanding of the “malleability” of the English language…and it makes me wonder if Chinese and Japanese don’t have the same flexibility, or humor or it was simply a marketing (or start up capital) tactic?

Am I hte only one that instantly thought of big hero 6 with the jumping robot?

Keep up the good work!Loving these vids

I've never really seen water striders jump. Then again the type I've seen also don't look like that. I've only seen that variety once. The ones I see usually look like little black dots with long legs. Actually, no, those do jump occasionally onto my surfboard when I paddle through a swarm of them.

Best episode in awhile!

Nice Background SciShow, its colour shall be named "Hank green"

I cannot escape the Hank. The Hank is everywhere. Please... Send help.

This is some cool stuff you talked about, good job! :)

5:09- please tell me I'm not the only one caught that voice crack.

Hank you're looking really dapper

Imagine being stuck under rubble with the airburr flying just out of reach bumping into things and getting back up just to bump into something else knowing that your only salvation was that dumb robot

As a BIG fan of SciShow, I think it would be great if as a follow-up to this video, SciShow could do an episode with Janine Benyus who is the Co-founder of Biomimicry Institute. That way, SciShow could present the newest in biomimicry.

what we need is a material that contracts when a small electric currant is applied, this would revolutionize robotics, creating the first artificial muscle

Great episode

Termites: Building giant phalli thousands of years before the dawn of minecraft. Case, point, conclusion.

Camouflage idea: find chemicals that absorb UV light and fluoresce in visible light (the hard part) then modulate an inner UV light to shine Vis light outward.

All bad things for humans! Robots that jump, fly, have rubbery skin, and camouflage make for the perfect human killing machine.

At the same time, we'll also have the technology to do a real-life "brain in a jar" that could control such robots. Wish of a kid dying of cancer? Want to live in a much more durable body?
