Bio-Inspiration: Nature as Muse | KQED QUEST
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лип 2024
- For hundreds of years, scientists have been poaching design ideas from structures in nature. Now, biologists and engineers at UC Berkeley are working together to design a broad range of new products, such as life-saving milli-robots modeled on the way cockroaches run and adhesives based on the amazing design of a geckos foot.
KQED's QUEST visits their labs to find out what's so special about these crawling and scaling animals.

suddenly I see the gecko in my house beautiful.
THE WISDOM OF GOD THE CREATOR IS DEFINITELY SHOWN THROUGH HIS NATURE.
Who's here to complete the assignment? :P
We'll be seeing more and more advancement from this type of research. It's amazing what you can glean from nature when you look at it from an engineering and design perspective. They may not want to acknowledge the engineer, but they are sure happy to piggy-back off His work.
Bio-Inspiration Tribology, Nanotechnology, Electrostatic, Friction, Robotics, Image Processing . Physics and Engineering in action.I want to be like Gecko in order to paint the walls in my house. ;D. Excellent Video.
always great to be remain positive
This is Kevin from WFJ! Love your stuff!!!
They also point out here and in many other videos with bob full that you SHOULD'NT just mimic or copy you need to be inspired, use the principles and make something as good or better for any number of different specific purposes. They aren't trying to clone or remake geckos, instead just make things inspired by them and many other animals.
love this
Nature is both chance and design, its a sense of weeding out the weak, those organisms with the most optimal "design" will have their traits survive over the years. It is a try and fail model, but such mutations are only relevant to an organism's environment which can justify when a trait is "improved upon" or dissolved.
Freaks my out so much
0:19-1:26 , 8:15-9:02 , 9:39
am I correct in assuming that the micro fibers on the pads of the gecko's are gaining and then releasing what I've herd referred to as fibber jamming like in soft robotics were they use small micro beads enclosed in a soft balloon to cause one side of the balloon to become stiff on one side while leaving the other side soft in order to obtain movement.
Well Said.
Just good enough.
Nature is not a work of chance. Natural selection selects the good designs and remove the faulty ones...
it is proof of DESIGN. If the professors need to work on just mimicking the nature, it's illogical to assume that the nature is a work of chance.
this is my homework....really teacher? I dont understand this stuff
Adaptation is not a mutation.
So... Let's say that they made a cat-machine to get rid of the rats, and let's say that rats were very common, and since rats are smart, does that mean that the rats could get used to that machine and the biologist would have to make another design?
AMEN MY SISTER. IT'S SAD WHEN THE CREDIT THAT IS DUE TO THE CREATOR GOES TO EVOLUTION OR COINCIDENCE.
Who started biomimicry specifically?
easy peasy squad

It's elements that make up a hypothesis but it sure isn't evidence. There is evidence for evolution and the big bang and they're trying to understand before then. However, you could possibly suggest that a creator created the (pardon this lame term) "stuff" that came before the big bang and he/she/it simply watched it unfold. Billions and billions of years of "coincidences" IS actually enough to create life. All the ingredients are there, they just took awhile to be what they are now.
they were not accidentally built, evolution never says something like that. the casual factor acts only at the rate of the single animal. let's think about two bunnies, two brothers. one of them can survive with less water: he has concentrated his poo and pee, and he even has larger ears, that help him cool up disperding heat. suppose they live in a hot desert. who do you think will have most chanche of survive and give his descendeants larger ears and concentrated rests?
I'm sorry I don't mean to be rude, but did you miss the part about mutations and leftovers that have no meaning or use? Or the part where they said natures design was just good enough to survive? 3:10 - 3:37 If there was an intelligent being creating these creatures why wouldn't he/she/it make them perfect w/out any random leftovers. Why did they evolve and leave behind millions of dead mistakes or extinct species? Evidence for Evolution. Just some food for thought.
i want to be a bioligst who studies gecko feet
not trying to start a God, no God arguement... but are they saying coincidence designed things, that humans copy? mankind cant make it.. but "nature" can? isnt things like the amazing design of a bird, or the strenght of geckos feet, even the written code within DNA that is far more complex then the code of computers put together by the most intelligent men on earth... isnt that evidence of a creator and not a coincidence?
swlovesvegans - No. It's not. You accept some crazy things as evidence. That's like meeting someone with the same name and assuming you have the same parents. Believe what you will, but that's not evidence.
produced in high-definition my ass
Just respect the natural world.. and don't steal the ideas without following life's principles are your not doing anythin Novel.. your just stealing.
Accidental mutations? Really?
So we are all the result of accidental mutations: kinda freaks of nature???? Really? I do not think so!
It's exactly what we are. The only reason we are still around is because our mutations were just good enough to allow us to survive while other organisms weren't good enough and they died out.
Let me guess, you believe that a being that lives in a different plane of existence, created EVERYTHING in 7 days, and that this being also has the ability to know everything, past present and future, and that he also has the ability to DO anything. You probably get this information from a book, written and transcribed over thousands of years by men with agendas.
You're right, accidental mutations is a wayyy too farfetched idea.

Keep guessing twit. I sure you out smart yourself everyday. Given a million years or so you might accidentally come up with a right answer on something meaningful or maybe not! Have a nice life...
