Last meeting we talked a little about how biology is being used as a model for building robots. If you think about it, the designs found in nature have been around for millions and billions of years and they are pretty good. In nature, if a design is not working well (often because the environment changes) then that design goes out of production (becomes extinct). What we see in nature today is pretty amazing from a design and technology standpoint. We are only now starting to consider nature's designs as something we should be trying to copy. Check out the videos below to see some good examples of design inspired by nature.
Design inspired by nature
These videos show what we were talking about last week in robotics. Why reinvent an idea if it is working? Nature presents us with so many great ideas that we can use in our designs.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone think of any other ideas from nature that we can apply in our robotics challenge or with our chassis?
It's amazing that we can take the design of a animal and make into a robot or car. Like the robo cheeta or the box fish car.
ReplyDeletethese video are awesome, I have not seen all of them but I bet they are awesome
ReplyDeleteThis was really interesting!!
ReplyDeleteIt is very cool expetially the chetah. I want to ask. How does it work and why is there red lights in the spine. How does the spine move.
ReplyDeleteIt is very cool what we figured out. I could never imagine or think that this would be or I never knew about this. Like the bionic car and the robot animals and insects.
