00:00In a world where robotics draws inspiration from nature, the line between reality and
00:05fantasy keeps getting blurrier.
00:08In today's video, engineers didn't stop at ants, birds or stingrays.
00:12They took it even further, creating a badminton-playing robot dog and even a dragon-horse hybrid.
00:19This is a whole new chapter in the story of robotics.
00:22Ready to be amazed?
00:28The Racewood Mark 10 is the most advanced racehorse simulator ever.
00:33It's produced by Racewood and comes equipped with pressure sensors in the saddle, reins and
00:38even the whip.
00:39New sensors in the neck closely track every movement made by the rider.
00:53Its gait syncs precisely with the jockey's rhythm, making it useful not only for refining
00:58existing skills, but also for learning proper riding techniques from the ground up.
01:02Thanks to the built-in Ant Plus support and heart rate monitor, the rider can also track
01:07physiological data during training sessions.
01:09The simulator doesn't get tired, doesn't act up and provides real-time feedback through
01:14detailed visual indicators showing balance, leg movement and other key metrics.
01:20The price for all this high-tech realism is around $55,000.
01:35Leaves rustle quietly.
01:36A deer silhouette flickers in the distance.
01:39Poachers take aim.
01:42Unaware that they're the ones being hunted.
01:44The deer is actually a robotic decoy, helping catch illegal hunters in the act.
01:50These decoys, which also include foxes, bears and other animals, are placed in areas where
01:55suspicious activity has been reported.
01:58They're remotely controlled from hidden locations.
02:00One of the strangest examples is a robotic deer that drops M&Ms instead of feces.
02:05It may seem like a silly gimmick, but it might actually work to distract and delay the poachers
02:11just long enough to catch them red-handed.
02:26This robotic dog, equipped with a manipulator arm, has mastered a surprisingly tricky skill.
02:32It can throw objects with Olympic-level precision up to 5 meters.
02:37The developers achieved this by putting the robot through millions of virtual training sessions,
02:42simulating everything from gravity and winds to different types of terrain.
02:48Then using sim-to-real transfer technology, the robot brought those digital skills into the
02:53real world.
02:54So well in fact that you can now play badminton with it.
02:58Of course this robot isn't just built for fun.
03:00Its ability to adapt to different surfaces underfoot makes it a strong candidate for serious
03:05missions too, including search and rescue operations.
03:23The standout feature of the Bionic Swift's robotic bird is its feathers.
03:28They're made from foam mounted on carbon fiber pins.
03:31When the wings move upward, the feathers fan out.
03:34On the downward stroke, they fold closed.
03:37The result is an impressively graceful flight, especially for a robot.
03:48What's the purpose?
03:49It turns out that if you outfit a room with radio modules, Bionic Swift's can navigate the
03:53space without using cameras.
03:56And if this technology continues to evolve, we could see fully autonomous flying robots
04:01that don't need eyes to find their way.
04:09The giant robots built by La Machine look like myths brought to life.
04:15Many of them have toured the world from Japan to Argentina and starred in an epic outdoor
04:20performance in the streets of Toulouse, France.
04:24One of the standouts is this 14-meter Minotaur.
04:27It takes a crew of 17 operators to move this 4.5-ton beast.
04:32The robot is partly mechanical and partly powered by an internal combustion engine, and it doesn't
04:37just move, it seems to breathe.
04:41But that's just one of La Machine's many creations.
04:44There's also an 18-meter Spider and Long Ma, the Dragon Horse, sent down to save humanity.
04:51With robots like these, the line between myth and reality starts to disappear.
05:07This charming little robot was inspired by pangolins, and it's based on a winning entry
05:12from the Natural Robotics contest.
05:14Can you guess who created it?
05:15A California high school student named Dorothy.
05:29She explains that since pangolins dig a lot, she imagined a robot gardener modelled after
05:34one would feel like a natural fit.
05:37Using its paws, the robot digs small holes in the ground, then drops in a mix of seeds
05:42and soil.
05:43And it looks adorable.
05:51Chimp is compared to an ape for a reason.
05:53This robot moves confidently on all fours, but can also walk upright on two legs when needed.
06:07It's equipped with rubberized tracks for added versatility.
06:11Its hands even include opposable thumbs.
06:13Chimp can easily turn valves, handle tools, and climb walls.
06:17It's designed to move autonomously, though a remote operator can take over at any time.
06:22The end goal is for the robot to take on dangerous missions.
06:26For example, providing assistance in disaster zones affected by earthquakes.
06:46Hexer was once promoted as the world's first affordable next generation programmable robot.
06:52But what makes it truly interesting goes beyond the marketing slogan.
06:57This six-legged spider-like robot, for starters, is compact enough to fit in a backpack.
07:06It also runs on its own specialized operating system called Mind, built on a Linux foundation specifically for robotics.
07:13Through this platform, users can easily share their own projects and access others via a dedicated app store.
07:20Hexer also learns in real time, using input from its camera and a range of built-in sensors.
07:25However, there is a catch.
07:29Since its launch, the robot's price has increased significantly.
07:32Back on Kickstarter, early models started at $500.
07:36But today, it's not unusual to find it listed online at nearly 10 times that amount.
07:41A colony of robotic ants, behaving just like real insects.
07:55That's exactly what Festo has created.
07:58Their bionic ants are fairly large at 13 and a half centimeters long, but they're packed with gear.
08:04A camera, an infrared sensor tucked in the abdomen, and powerful jaws capable of carrying loads, just like their living counterparts.
08:13These robots coordinate smoothly with one another, but can still make individual decisions within a shared task.
08:19Each bionic ant runs for 40 minutes on a full charge, and they recharge through their antennae.
08:25That's clever.
08:26It's more than just an engineering feat, because these ants are a step towards creating versatile, cooperative robotic teams.
08:33Who knows?
08:34Maybe one day they'll be building bases on Mars.
08:37The BOS robotic stingray is a true spy of the ocean depths.
08:56Developed with the support of the German government, this bionic vehicle is perfectly suited for underwater reconnaissance.
09:02At the same time, it has the potential to handle a wide range of tasks, from monitoring marine ecosystems to inspecting sunken objects.
09:11Its streamlined body conceals an entire arsenal, sonar systems, cameras, and even a water sampling mechanism.
09:18Thanks to its unique shape, modeled after a real stingray, the robot can maneuver with remarkable precision.
09:24For example, it's capable of swimming just 20 centimeters above the ocean floor.
09:29So, what about the search for Atlantis?
09:32With this kind of technology, why not?
09:34Maybe BOS will uncover the secrets of the Bermuda Triangle, or even stumble upon some long lost treasure.
09:45This underwater robot doesn't move like a bulky submersible.
09:50Instead, it swims like a real tuna.
09:52Fast, sleek, and surprisingly agile.
09:55It's a fusion of engineering and biomechanics, with a body that's both innovative and functional.
10:00The front two-thirds is rigid and waterproof, while the rear third is flexible and filled with water.
10:06This design allows the robotic tuner to perform spiral movements and even turn in place.
10:11It's so well engineered that it can propel itself using only tail movements, without the need for a propeller.
10:18What's most exciting, though, is its potential.
10:20This robotic tuner doesn't just push forward the field of bionic underwater vehicles,
10:25it's likely to catch the interest of organizations like the US military, which has already shown interest in similar models.
10:32AI is still getting to know the world, and its version of a robot shark is certainly unique.
10:49But real engineers have them beat.
10:52One sleek, high-tech shark is already in service with the Chinese military.
10:56Known as RoboShark, it's used for surveillance and reconnaissance.
11:02The current model measures 2.2 meters, weighs 75 kilograms, and swims at 18.5 kilometers per hour.
11:09It can operate on its own without human input, but can also be remotely controlled from up to 3 kilometers away.
11:15And because it moves using a tail rather than a propeller, it's remarkably quiet.
11:20RoboShark swims pretty good.
11:26You'd be horrified.
11:28Like, if you didn't know.
11:31Even something as ordinary as a snail can inspire impressive engineering.
11:36These tiny robots come with an unexpected set of skills.
11:51Alongside their two tracks, each robotic snail features a vacuum suction cup and magnetic attachments.
11:57That means they can handle rough terrain and also link together with other snails.
12:01The grip is so strong that if a group encounters a gap, they can form a bridge using their own bodies.
12:07In the future, developers plan to give them AI so that they can communicate and operate without human input.
12:13In fact, the breakthroughs made in developing these robotic snails could become a solid foundation for other research teams working on similar types of robots.
12:30This robot from Ground Control Robotics was built to serve agriculture.
12:35It crawls through orchards and fields, inspecting crops and eliminating weeds, either with a laser or its jaws.
12:42Its segmented, flexible body lets it weave expertly between plants.
12:46And the tactile antennae mimic real insects, helping it gently explore the space ahead.
12:52It walks with a wave-like motion that keeps it stable, even on loose soil.
13:02And if it flips over by accident, it can right itself without help.
13:07A full charge powers it for two hours.
13:09With a projected price tag of $1,000 for the production model, it could easily become a reliable assistant for farmers and gardeners alike.
13:29Birds transmit alarm calls at incredible speeds, up to 160 kilometers per hour.
13:35In a way, they create a real social network.
13:38To get a better understanding of how birds sound the alarm when dangerous near, scientists came up with an unusual solution.
13:45They created robotic owls and hawks.
13:48Thanks to skilled taxidermists, these decoys look completely lifelike.
13:53With this setup, researchers can position microphones, sensors and other equipment in advance at specific locations.
14:00Then, they trigger a response from the birds by releasing the robotic predators.
14:05The result is impressive.
14:06As soon as a robotic owl appears at a feeder, the birds' communication network springs into action.
14:13Chickadees alone can produce up to 800 alarm calls in just five minutes.
14:18Let's hope their panic isn't in vain, and that this research helps protect endangered species and improve conservation efforts.
14:25Robotic reptiles like these are useful, not just for wildlife monitoring, but also for search and rescue operations.
14:37They've already undergone field tests in Uganda, successfully enduring dust, humidity and scorching heat.
14:44The temperature inside the robots reached up to 70 degrees Celsius, but they held up without issue.
14:49So, what's inside?
14:51Their bones are made of carbon fiber and aluminum, while the outer skin is crafted from latex.
14:57A typical robot moves using 24 motors, all controlled by a built-in microcomputer.
15:03Operators can control them remotely from up to 500 meters away.
15:12Meet Hengbot Sirius.
15:14This dog robot weighs just a kilogram, but it's considered the most dynamic robotic dog on the planet.
15:20It's incredible how compact tech has become.
15:24And Hengbot Sirius isn't just a toy.
15:26It's an AI-powered companion.
15:28It runs, jumps and learns like a real dog.
15:31Thanks to OpenAI integration, it gradually develops its own personality.
15:36And if you don't feel like customizing it yourself, you can just pick a preset in the app.
15:40For example, a corgi. It even downloads sound packs to make it bark more realistically.
15:49You can control the dog with a smartphone, a game controller, or even smart glasses.
15:54Hengbot Sirius is already available, starting at $659.
15:58Flapper Nimble Plus drones can only carry 25 grams and stay airborne for just around 5 minutes.
16:16For what they lack in endurance, they make up for in agility.
16:20They're so nimble that human pilots need the help of the onboard smart tech,
16:24which updates the wing movement parameters 500 times per second.
16:28This allows Flapper Nimble Plus to pull off instant pivots, hover in place, or accelerate in a flash.
16:35And here's the exciting part. The code is open source.
16:38The possibilities are endless.
16:40Shows, film shoots, weddings, or maybe you've already come up with your own idea.
16:46These drones are like blank canvases for creative minds.
16:49Would you use them for scientific research, artistic performances, or maybe even to prank your neighbors?
17:06The narrow Tartaruga multipurpose robot Turtle carries an impressive amount of equipment in its shell
17:13for a wide variety of tasks.
17:15Need a GPS module? It has one.
17:18Pressure, current, and temperature sensors? All included.
17:21An electro-optical system? Also on board.
17:29Despite all that, the narrow Tartaruga swims at a respectable speed of about 7 kilometers per hour.
17:35It's also highly maneuverable, thanks to a pair of independently operated front flippers.
17:40But that's not all.
17:41While the prototype version of Nano Tartaruga was operated remotely,
17:45the developers are already planning for future versions to be autonomous.
17:49There's also a generous amount of space inside the robots,
17:52with designated slots for attaching additional modules both in the front and in the back.
17:58In the end, Nano Tartaruga looks like a strong candidate for everything
18:02from coral reef exploration to the search for sunken artifacts.
18:13The soft-bodied Octobot moves using a chemical reaction.
18:17When hydrogen peroxide comes into contact with a platinum catalyst, gas is produced.
18:22This gas expands to a volume 160 times greater than that of the original liquid,
18:27which gives Octobot the power to move its limbs. Just one milliliter of hydrogen peroxide is enough
18:33to keep it running for eight minutes. Perhaps the most surprising part is that the reaction isn't
18:38controlled by electronics. Instead, it's driven by a soft analog of a simple electronic oscillator.
18:44And it's not just the mechanism that's unique. The entire assembly process is something special too.
18:49Octobot is built using a combination of soft lithography, molding, and 3D printing.
18:54Where else are you going to find a robot assembled through that kind of technique?
18:58Imagine a snake that can stretch to the length of a football field and slither through even the
19:04tightest gaps. Meet Roboa. This marvel of engineering was designed to search for people
19:09trapped under rubble. Its soft pneumatic body can expand and contract, changing its diameter from 5 to
19:1510 centimeters, which means dirt, pipes, and even sticky surfaces pose no obstacle. Inside its flexible
19:21frame, Roboa carries more than just sensors and an audio system for communicating with survivors.
19:27It also stores emergency supplies like food, water, and medicine.
19:32Agnetha-X is another flexible design with real scientific value. Modeled after a lamprey,
19:38this robot has helped researchers get closer to answering a critical question.
19:42How can some vertebrates still move even after spinal cord damage?
19:54Using Agnetha-X, scientists were able to take a closer look at how the central and peripheral
19:59nervous systems work together to produce movements. It turns out that this teamwork is
20:04key to partially compensating for spinal injuries. For robotics, this insight means that mimicking
20:10both systems could make machines more resilient, because even incomplete sensor input might be
20:16enough to keep a robot moving steadily.
20:23Spydar is a robot that switches between flying and crawling with ease, like a futuristic mix of a
20:29drone and a spider. It has four legs with rotors, giving it impressive agility. Spydar can take off,
20:36hover in place, then gently land and keep moving across the ground. Its thrust system helps it
20:42counteract gravity, staying balanced even during liftoff. Plus, its smart control system keeps it
20:48stable even in turbulent conditions. For now, flight time is limited to 9 minutes and walking to 18,
20:55but that just means there's plenty of room for upgrades. In the future, Spydar could explore hard-to-reach
21:01places, help in rescue missions, or deliver packages where traditional robots fall short. Its dual-mode
21:07design opens new horizons for robotics.
21:13Spydar is a robotic worm.
21:25Equipped with pressure and temperature sensors, this robotic worm can squeeze into spaces where rigid
21:31machines wouldn't stand a chance, like under rubble. Its creators were inspired by the Japanese art of
21:37Kirigami, which is similar to origami, but involves cutting as well as folding. The result is a flexible
21:44outer layer that bends evenly without creasing, allowing the worm to turn effortlessly. Its movement
21:50is powered by inflatable pneumatic muscles that expand and contract to create motion.
21:56It crawls at a speed of 11 millimeters per second, and during testing, it made it through an obstacle course
22:02with ease. That success suggests real potential for rescue missions or industrial inspections.
22:17Salto is a robot that jumps from branch to branch using the same physics squirrels rely on.
22:24It's the product of scientists who closely studied how squirrels leap, and then translated that into
22:29robotic movement. Here's what they came up with. When landing, Salto absorbs 86% of the impact with its
22:36front legs. It uses reversing the motors to brake. A flywheel helps it adjust its course while airborne.
22:44And adjusting its body position lets it not only land successfully, but also keep its footing. In tests,
22:50Salto stuck the landing 25 out of 30 times. In practice, robots like this could prove useful for
22:57inspections on construction sites, or for monitoring the environment in forests.
23:09These robotic fireflies are fascinating, not just for their glow, but for how their wings work. The wings
23:16are made from a special elastomer layered with carbon nanotube electrodes. When voltage is applied,
23:21the elastomer contracts, causing the wings to flap. Also, but the real magic comes from the
23:26electroluminescent zinc sulfate particles embedded into the elastomer. These particles glow when charged,
23:34allowing a computer to track each firefly's position with pinpoint accuracy, as precise as two millimeters.
23:40And it doesn't take any exotic hardware. Even smartphone cameras can handle the job. The lighting can be
23:46customized too, so a single firefly can display multiple colors at once. More light means more data. And the
23:53team behind the project is even working on a system for the fireflies to communicate with one another.
24:00This robot isn't assembled from multiple parts. It's 3D printed as a single piece using a soft plastic,
24:07similar to what's found in sneakers.
24:17It moves using air pressure. Tiny chambers built into its body inflate and deflate to create motion.
24:24Its speed is just 4 centimeters per second, but it's stable and water resistant.
24:29Best of all, it can be printed on a standard home 3D printer.
24:37This robot goes here, so what happens to be in this robot.
24:42It's the robot and it's a single lens set up for the machine system.
24:46It's a best mechanic in the original design of the machine system.
