#Robotics can learn a lot from #nature.

#Robotics can learn a lot from #nature. When humans build a #robot resembling an ant, this process is called #biomimicry. And these little fellas, the "μTugs" can each pull up to 23 kilos while only weighing 17 grams. Six of these #ant like robots can pull a car of 1,800 kg. Now that is some muscle, isnt it?

Very cool! Would love to work with them.

Bat inspired robot to help with search and rescue missions. via news nation
Researchers are developing a new vampire bat-inspired robot that can walk as well as fly, allowing it to carry out search and rescue missions in multiple terrains.

Robot swarms, robot herds, robot flocks
I'm in the news again. =)
Have you ever seen a herd of robots? Or a shoal of robots? How about a robot flock? All of these collective nouns mean the same as ‘swarm,’ and swarm robotics is an entire field of research.

The students enjoyed a presentation on the evolution of certain animals and learnt how their behaviours have inspired robots being developed in BRL (Bristol Robotics Laboratory) before they got to see the robots at work. One behaviour demonstrated was ‘swarming’; just like birds, fish and insects that sense one another around them and follow the trail of others, the group saw robots performing the same action using sensors and cameras. Pupils got to handle cockroaches, a skink and observe rats communicating with one another through different methods.

I have kick started the project Robots vs.
I have kick started the project Robots vs. Animals at the Bristol Zoo. Mine was the first session! The kids had great fun, and us too.
During the session, the students investigated human-robot interaction, learning about why engineers make robots yawn, dance and gesture like humans in order to make the robots more approachable and engaging. Students saw how evolution is shortening the legs of the blue-tongued skink. This helped them understand how robots are evolving – and one day might be able to change their shape rapidly like Transformers.
