How do you make a robot run faster?
The solution is to use emu
type legs. For instance, “Alexander
Badri-Spröwitz at the Max
Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, and his
colleagues have done away with the usual approach where every joint in a
robotic limb” has that resembles the gait of an emu.
Emus are fast runners and giving their ability to robots makes the robots
super fast. .
biomimicry
or biomimetics has recently become a success, that
is, copying
amazing design seen in nature, has become a flourishing research field.
Biomimicry is a science that brings
out that what God has designed. And what he did, He did very well.
Design
in nature is so obvious that it’s practically impossible to deny it.
