welcome to TTI welcome to the whole new world of science and robotics today we
are going to explore the incredible world of robotic insects so watch the
entire video to discover something new and something robotic number eight it
can be safely said that Ant Man is the king of controlling ants I mean he has
an entire ant army it sounds crazy but you can make your own ant army with
another cool creation from the company Festo they make robotic ants which act
and behave exactly like real live ones they can work in groups to complete any
task these 3d printed ants are designed with six mechanical legs and have
porcelain conductors capable of conducting efficiently performing
various activities with a minimum energy expenditure there is even tiny cameras
on the ants heads which track objects and allows you to see from their point
of view number seven Festo emotion butterflies
now you can decorate your home or business with these beautiful
butterflies without offending animal rights activists because the German
company Festo make plenty of these butterflies which will impress you each
one is autonomous and it can fly in programmed ways it weighs 32 grams and
in a single charge it can fly for 15 minutes this whole system consists of 10
high speed infrared cameras installed into a room where butterflies can fly
you can hardly distinguish these Bionic butterflies from the real ones in this
room and their flight looks very impressive number 6 the robot dragonfly
the PhD students inspired by dragonfly has created a miniaturized four-winged
roba at Tech checked this dragonfly is a lightweight robot insect that collects
information while flying like a real dragonfly it has a Wi-Fi model with 20
different sensors the users can enjoy an aerial dynamic wings with its four wing
mechanism its brushless motors and its single cell battery of 250 milliamp
hours
the latest dragonfly model is autonomous with stereoscopic vision fly control
systems and a dual camera ready operating system this means you can do
amazing aerial photography spy on people or secure your house the dragon flag of
smaller and smaller details of each locations and its efficient and
eco-friendly and about 6 inches long so you can take it easily in your pocket
wherever you go
you can control the actions and movements of the dragonflies to the
smartphone or laptop through software this could be the next-generation spy
tool even James Bond wants us in his pocket
number five best Oh Bionic opted er
the German company Festo introduced its cutest robotic creation a dragonfly
known as Bionic opted er just like its model in nature this ultralight flying
object can fly in all directions hover in midair and glide without beating its
wings this unique way of flying is made possible by the lightweight construction
and the integration of functions each of its four wings also features an
amplitude controller and can be twisted up to 90 degrees horizontally it is much
larger than the real dragonfly the body of the Bionic op Turismo puffs carbon
fiber and it's covered in polyester membranes this cute robot can be
controlled easily via your smartphone
number four scorpion hexapod robot
have you seen a scorpion remember its sting is scary huh
inspired by scorpions student at Ghent University in Belgium have created a
hexapod scorpion this is created specifically for the purpose of stinging
to visitors at the industrial centers Tech Exposition surprisingly this thing
is completely harmless this terrifying robot is made with 3d printing
technologies to demonstrate the intuitive and complex mechatronic
functions or stabbing people with its tail it has six legs that moves in all
directions and does more than real scorpions it uses different IR sensors
and cameras to calculate surrounding environments guys this is really cool
number three cockroach robot cockroaches our all-time
favorites and this experiment shows these cockroaches can withstand almost
900 times their body weight without getting hurt
that's like an average person being crushed by more than 123 thousand pounds
not only that even in the squish State that American cockroaches were still
able to run super fast nearly 20 times their body length per second UC Berkeley
researchers have discovered the secrets of how cockroaches achieved those
astounding hue Deenie light contortions and now they're using dis discovery to
build robots those same extraordinary powers inspired by this awesome skill
set the researchers built cram a compressible robot with articulated
mechanisms the prototype has a segmented pliable cockroach light shell cram is
able to sprawl out and run using other parts of its legs instead of its feet
imagine the possibilities like sending a swarm of cockroach robots under the
tiniest spaces to find disaster survivors so maybe next time you come
across an American cockroach instead of thinking it's creepy you can think it's
cool
number two row bug ticks T 8x spider robot guys do you want a
large terrifying spider for fun a spider which you can control and used to
terrify others introducing row bug ticks T 8x robot spider the t8 is a bio
inspired high-resolution 3d printed robot that uses a total of 26 servo
motors it is powered by the bigfoot inverse kinematics engine and advanced
algorithm which can handle all the complex calculations necessary for
controlling multi legged walking processes there are endless
possibilities for the types of bio-inspired realistic movements at the
robot can make it is an RC robot spider and commands are sent and received via
wireless X be number one Robo bees
guys I'm sure all of you have seen real bees before they probably attracted you
or to strive to do from your concentration
but now Robo bees are here to entertain you inspired by the biology of a bee
researchers at wisp Institute are developing Robo bees and just like a
real fly the robots spin it in flexible wings feet approximately 120 times every
second which is achieved by the super voltage-dependent substance called
piezoelectric material it has super fast electronic muscles to power its wings
it's brain development is concerned with smart sensors and control electronics
that mimic the eyes and antennae of a bee and can sense and respond
dynamically to the environment it is believed that groups of Robo bees
utilizing swarm intelligence will be highly useful in search and rescue
efforts as artificial pollinators the Harvard University developers say we
could envision these robots being used for search and rescue operations to
search for human survivors under collapsed buildings or in other
hazardous environments these tiny robots can be used for environmental monitoring
or able to sense chemical hazards so it just seems to be a tiny little robot but
it has lots of few juices doesn't it guys
