Printing Artificial Muscles | Fergal Coulter | TEDxWarwick
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 кві 2016
- After working as a freelance system designer and printmaker, Fergal Coulter specialises in designing a system capable of 4D printing silicone artificial muscles. His team has been exploring how advanced 3D printing technology can create structures that induce a change in form.
After working as a freelance system designer, printmaker and musician, Fergal Coulter now specialises in designing a system capable of 4D printing silicone artificial muscles, which contain varying levels of elastic strain throughout the object's layers. His research interests include cardiac assist devices, soft robotics, printed electronics, bio-sensors, and 3D printing and scanning on inflated structures.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
I’m glad Screech was able to continue his interest in science
this man... speaks softly but carries a big brain.
Yes.
Very unique Tedx speaker! Seems like a really cool dude 😎
Robots might be less scary if they're squishy like us. 100% for soft robotics.
I hope I can find more information about his work - this is quite enthralling.
Great work Fergal. This is interesting.
brilliant fellow
Very creative thinking.
Bile duct regeneration scaffolds would be very helpful.
This makes me think of reaction wood in trees. I wonder if any 3D printing techniques could be developed from studying how pre-stressed wood fibers are grown in place?
🤔👍
Awesome
He was better in saved by the bell...
I think this guy is really high.
He looks as if Richard from silicon valley became a rasta.
literally my first thought! looks and speaks like him)
is this classified? why is he whispering?
because they want make bio-killermachine
He is probably whispering because he tends to talk loudly and is trying to control his voice.
I loled so hard
Maybe he could work for darpa and work on robotics. See if he could mimic the human musculature on a skeletal structure.
And so, thank you very much! LoL!!!
Looks like Sideshow Bob
The problem I keep running into is why we still use old robotic arms that are ran with servo motors on robots like "Pet Man" from DARPA..... Why don't they just use the newest prosthetic arm?? Instead of spending all of their Military money on creating the Human like robot in the first place, they should fund their researches to create a electro conductive polymer or something.
Or even just simple electromagnets.
Electro conductive polymers already exust and are on the market....
He have hipnotic sound. Hear it make me sleepy
Is this guy one of The Matrix programs? LoL!
uh..for gods sake talk louder
Nice talk but it would be nice if the speaker does not smack his mouth/lips intentionally at the end of every sentence. You know its coming when he furrows his brow and then....SMACK.
Let's see how perfectly you talk then ...
Oh my God this guy is annoying. Not good with expressing people skills or talking in general. As an engineer with a high level understanding and application of this subject it bored me to death. This is an old technique and not as leading edge as other better and more flexible methods. How is this only from 2016? Just because it's mated with 3D printing? So far nothing beats a zebtube as an artificial muscle.
Nothing beats a what?
I've only just learning and fascinated by these videos recently, but I wondered: is this man not talking about creating bioanimation materials to be used within human/animal bodies whereas the zebtubes are for machinery, like robotics?
Jim Furey There is some projection detected, starting with the discussion of expressing a desire towards concluding that there is a god, and that it's your god, and to suggest that you have a high degree of cognition, if to be compared with that person who made the effort to follow through with their most helpful concept.That tone of superiority must seem impressive to those around you.
