Let me share with you today an original discovery.

5000
Dopustite da danas podijelim s vama originalno otkriće.
00:23
But I want to tell it to you the way it really happened --
1
5000
3000
Ali želim vam ga ispričati onako kako se zapravo dogodilo,
00:26
not the way I present it in a scientific meeting,
2
8000
2000
a ne na način kako ga prikazujem na znanstvenim sastancima
00:28
or the way you'd read it in a scientific paper.
3
10000
3000
ili kako biste pročitali u znanstvenim novinama.
00:31
It's a story about beyond biomimetics,
4
13000
3000
To je priča koja nadilazi biomimetiku
00:34
to something I'm calling biomutualism.
5
16000
3000
u nešto što zovem biomutalizam.
00:37
I define that as an association between biology and another discipline,
6
19000
3000
To definiram kao udruživanje biologije i jedne druge discipline,
00:40
where each discipline reciprocally advances the other,
7
22000
4000
gdje svaka disciplina recipročno unapređuje drugu,
00:44
but where the collective discoveries that emerge are beyond any single field.
8
26000
4000
ali zajednička otkrića koja nastaju nadilaze bilo koje polje.
00:48
Now, in terms of biomimetics,
9
30000
2000
Sad, u slučaju biomimetike,
00:50
as human technologies take on more of the characteristics of nature,
10
32000
3000
kako ljudska tehnologija preuzima karakteristike prirode,
00:53
nature becomes a much more useful teacher.
11
35000
3000
priroda postaje jako koristan učitelj.
00:56
Engineering can be inspired by biology
12
38000
2000
Inženjeri mogu biti nadahnuti biologijom
00:58
by using its principles and analogies when they're advantageous,
13
40000
3000
koristeći njezine principe i analogije koje imaju prednosti.
01:01
but then integrating that with the best human engineering,
14
43000
3000
A zatim integrirati to s najboljim ljudskim inženjerstvom
01:04
ultimately to make something actually better than nature.
15
46000
5000
i na kraju se dobije nešto zapravo bolje od prirode.
01:09
Now, being a biologist, I was very curious about this.
16
51000
3000
Kako sam ja biolog, zanimao sam se za to.
01:12
These are gecko toes.
17
54000
2000
Ovo su gekonovi prsti.
01:14
And we wondered how they use these bizarre toes
18
56000
2000
Pitali smo se kako koriste ove bizarne prste da
01:16
to climb up a wall so quickly.
19
58000
2000
se penju zidom tako brzo.
01:18
We discovered it. And what we found was
20
60000
3000
I otkrili smo. Ono što smo otkrili jest
01:21
that they have leaf-like structures on their toes,
21
63000
2000
da na prstima imaju strukture poput listova
01:23
with millions of tiny hairs that look like a rug,
22
65000
3000
s milijunima malih dlačica koje izgledaju kao krpa.
01:26
and each of those hairs has the worst case of split-ends possible:
23
68000
3000
Svaka od tih dlaka ima jako ispucan vrh
01:29
about 100 to 1000 split ends that are nano-size.
24
71000
4000
s oko 100 do 1.000 završetaka koje su nano veličine.
01:33
And the individual has 2 billion of these nano-size split ends.
25
75000
4000
Znači, jedinka ima oko 2 milijarde završetaka nano veličine.
01:37
They don't stick by Velcro or suction or glue.
26
79000
2000
Ne lijepe se kao Velcro ili vakuum ili ljepilo.
01:39
They actually stick by intermolecular forces alone,
27
81000
3000
Zapravo se lijepe pomoću samih intermolekularnih sila,
01:42
van der Waals forces.
28
84000
2000
van der Waalsovih sila.
01:44
And I'm really pleased to report to you today
29
86000
2000
I drago mi je što vam danas mogu reći
01:46
that the first synthetic self-cleaning, dry adhesive has been made.
30
88000
5000
da je napravljen prvi sintetički adheziv koji se sam čisti.
01:51
From the simplest version in nature, one branch,
31
93000
3000
Uz pomoć najjednostavnije verzije iz prirode, jedne grane,
01:54
my engineering collaborator, Ron Fearing, at Berkeley,
32
96000
3000
moj inženjerski suradnik Ron Fearing s Berkeleja
01:57
had made the first synthetic version.
33
99000
3000
napravio je prvu sintetičku verziju.
02:00
And so has my other incredible collaborator,
34
102000
2000
A, isto tako, i moj drugi suradnik
02:02
Mark Cutkosky, at Stanford --
35
104000
2000
Mark Cutkosky sa Standforda.
02:04
he made much larger hairs than the gecko,
36
106000
2000
Napravio je mnogo veće dlake od gekonovih,
02:06
but used the same general principles.
37
108000
3000
ali je koristio iste opće principe.
02:09
And here is its first test.
38
111000
2000
I ovdje je prvi test.
02:11
(Laughter)
39
113000
1000
(Smijeh)
02:12
That's Kellar Autumn, my former Ph.D. student,
40
114000
2000
Ovo je Kellar Autumn, moj bivši student,
02:14
professor now at Lewis and Clark,
41
116000
2000
sada profesor na Lewisu i Clarku;
02:16
literally giving his first-born child up for this test.
42
118000
4000
doslovno daje svoje prvorođeno dijete za test.
02:20
(Laughter)
43
122000
1000
(Smiijeh)
02:21
More recently, this happened.
44
123000
2000
A nedavno se ovo dogodilo.
02:23
Man: This the first time someone has actually climbed with it.
45
125000
3000
Čovjek: Ovo je prvi put da se netko zapravo popeo s time.
02:26
Narrator: Lynn Verinsky, a professional climber,
46
128000
2000
Narator: Lynn Verinsky, profesionalna penjačica,
02:28
who appeared to be brimming with confidence.
47
130000
2000
koja izgleda kao da puca od samopouzdanja.
02:30
Lynn Verinsky: Honestly, it's going to be perfectly safe. It will be perfectly safe.
48
132000
3000
Lynn Verinsky: Iskreno, bit će savršeno sigurno, bit će savršeno sigurno.
02:33
Man: How do you know?
49
135000
2000
Čovjek: Kako znate?
02:35
Lynn Verinsky: Because of liability insurance. (Laughter)
50
137000
2000
Lynn Verinsky: Zbog obaveznog osiguranja.
02:37
Narrator: With a mattress below and attached to a safety rope,
51
139000
2000
Narator: S madracem ispod i povezana sigurnosnim užetom,
02:39
Lynn began her 60-foot ascent.
52
141000
3000
Lynn je počela svoje 18-metarsko penjanje.
02:42
Lynn made it to the top in a perfect pairing
53
144000
3000
Lynn se popela do vrha spojivši
02:45
of Hollywood and science.
54
147000
3000
Hollywood i znanost.
02:48
Man: So you're the first human being to officially emulate a gecko.
55
150000
3000
Čovjek: Znači, vi ste prva osoba koja je službeno oponašala gekona.
02:51
Lynn Verinsky: Ha! Wow. And what a privilege that has been.
56
153000
6000
Lynn Verinsky: Ha! Vau. To je lijepa privilegija.
02:57
Robert Full: That's what she did on rough surfaces.
57
159000
2000
Robert Full: To je ona napravila na neravnim površinama.
02:59
But she actually used these on smooth surfaces --
58
161000
2000
Ali ona se zapravo koristila ovime na glatkim površinama,
03:01
two of them -- to climb up, and pull herself up.
59
163000
2000
njima dvjema, kako bi se popela i vukla se gore.
03:03
And you can try this in the lobby,
60
165000
2000
Ovo možete probati u predvorju
03:05
and look at the gecko-inspired material.
61
167000
4000
i pogledati materijale nadahnute gekonom.
03:09
Now the problem with the robots doing this
62
171000
2000
Problem kod robota koji ovo rade
03:11
is that they can't get unstuck,
63
173000
2000
jest taj što se ne mogu odlijepiti
03:13
with the material.
64
175000
2000
od materijala.
03:15
This is the gecko's solution. They actually peel their toes away
65
177000
3000
Ovo je gekonovo rješenje. Oni doslovno ogule svoje prste
03:18
from the surface, at high rates,
66
180000
2000
s površine, jako brzo,
03:20
as they run up the wall.
67
182000
2000
dok trče uz zid.
03:22
Well I'm really excited today to show you
68
184000
3000
Stvarno sam uzbuđen danas jer ću vam pokazati
03:25
the newest version of a robot, Stickybot,
69
187000
3000
najnoviju verziju robota, Stickybota,
03:28
using a new hierarchical dry adhesive.
70
190000
3000
koji koristi novi suhi adheziv.
03:31
Here is the actual robot.
71
193000
3000
On je pravi robot.
03:37
And here is what it does.
72
199000
3000
A ovo je ono što on radi.
03:45
And if you look,
73
207000
2000
Ako pogledate,
03:47
you can see that it uses
74
209000
3000
vidjet ćete da
03:50
the toe peeling,
75
212000
2000
guli prste
03:52
just like the gecko does.
76
214000
2000
isto kao i gekon.
03:56
If we can show some of the video, you can see it climbing up the wall.
77
218000
3000
Ako pogledamo dio videa, vidjet ćete kako se penje uz zid.
03:59
(Applause)
78
221000
2000
(Pljesak)
04:01
There it is.
79
223000
2000
Evo ga.
04:03
And now it can go on other surfaces because of the new adhesive
80
225000
3000
A sad može ići i na druge podloge zbog novog adheziva
04:06
that the Stanford group was able to do
81
228000
3000
koji je grupa iz Standforda napravila
04:09
in designing this incredible robot.
82
231000
3000
dok je dizajnirala ovog izvrsnog robota.
04:12
(Applause)
83
234000
3000
(Pljesak)
04:15
Oh. One thing I want to point out is, look at Stickybot.
84
237000
3000
Oh. Jedna stvar koju želim istaknuti jest: pogledajte Stickybota.
04:18
You see something on it. It's not just to look like a gecko.
85
240000
4000
Vidjet ćete nešto na njemu. Nije samo zato da izgleda kao gekon.
04:22
It has a tail. And just when you think you've figured out nature,
86
244000
3000
Ima rep. I baš kada pomislite da ste shvatili prirodu,
04:25
this kind of thing happens.
87
247000
2000
nešto se ovakvo pojavi.
04:27
The engineers told us, for the climbing robots,
88
249000
2000
Inženjeri su nam rekli da će roboti,
04:29
that, if they don't have a tail,
89
251000
2000
ako nemaju rep,
04:31
they fall off the wall.
90
253000
2000
otpasti sa zida.
04:33
So what they did was they asked us
91
255000
2000
Ono što su učinili jest da su nas pitali
04:35
an important question.
92
257000
2000
jedno važno pitanje.
04:37
They said, "Well, it kind of looks like a tail."
93
259000
4000
Rekli su: „Pa recimo da izgleda kao rep“.
04:41
Even though we put a passive bar there.
94
263000
2000
To nam je izgledalo nebitno.
04:43
"Do animals use their tails when they climb up walls?"
95
265000
3000
„Koriste li životinje njihov rep dok se penju uz zidove?“
04:46
What they were doing was returning the favor,
96
268000
2000
Ono što su radili je da su nam uzvraćali uslugu
04:48
by giving us a hypothesis to test,
97
270000
3000
dajući nam hipotezu za provjeru
04:51
in biology, that we wouldn't have thought of.
98
273000
3000
koje se u biologiji nikad ne bismo dosjetili.
04:54
So of course, in reality, we were then panicked,
99
276000
3000
I, naravno, u stvarnosti smo paničarili,
04:57
being the biologists, and we should know this already.
100
279000
2000
biolozi smo i trebali smo to već znati.
04:59
We said, "Well, what do tails do?"
101
281000
2000
Upitali smo: „Što rade repovi?“
05:01
Well we know that tails store fat, for example.
102
283000
3000
Dobro znamo da se u repove sprema mast, na primjer.
05:04
We know that you can grab onto things with them.
103
286000
3000
Znamo da je moguće hvatati se na stvari s njime.
05:07
And perhaps it is most well known
104
289000
2000
I možda najpoznatije jest to
05:09
that they provide static balance.
105
291000
3000
da služe za postizanje ravnoteže.
05:12
(Laughter)
106
294000
1000
(Smijeh)
05:13
It can also act as a counterbalance.
107
295000
3000
Može se koristiti i protiv ravnoteže.
05:16
So watch this kangaroo.
108
298000
3000
Pogledajte ovog klokana.
05:19
See that tail? That's incredible!
109
301000
2000
Vidite taj rep? Ovo je sjajno!
05:21
Marc Raibert built a Uniroo hopping robot.
110
303000
4000
Marc Railbert napravio je Uniroo skačućeg robota.
05:25
And it was unstable without its tail.
111
307000
3000
Bio je nestabilan bez repa.
05:31
Now mostly tails limit maneuverability,
112
313000
2000
A većina repova ograničavaju pokretljivost.
05:33
like this human inside this dinosaur suit.
113
315000
4000
Kao ovaj čovjek u kostimu dinosaura.
05:37
(Laughter)
114
319000
1000
(Smijeh)
05:38
My colleagues actually went on to test this limitation,
115
320000
4000
Moje kolege stvarno su ispitale to ograničavanje
05:42
by increasing the moment of inertia of a student, so they had a tail,
116
324000
4000
povećavajući inerciju kod studenata, imali su rep,
05:46
and running them through and obstacle course,
117
328000
2000
trčali su kroz prepreke
05:48
and found a decrement in performance,
118
330000
2000
i pokazivali smanjenu sposobnost u izvedbi toga.
05:50
like you'd predict.
119
332000
3000
Kao što biste i predvidjeli.
05:53
(Laughter)
120
335000
1000
(Smijeh)
05:54
But of course, this is a passive tail.
121
336000
3000
Ali, naravno, ovo je pasivan rep.
05:57
And you can also have active tails.
122
339000
2000
A postoji i aktivan rep.
05:59
And when I went back to research this, I realized
123
341000
2000
Kada sam se vratio da to istražim, shvatio sam
06:01
that one of the great TED moments in the past,
124
343000
2000
da smo u jednom od velikih TED trenutaka u prošlosti,
06:03
from Nathan,
125
345000
2000
od Nathana,
06:05
we've talked about an active tail.
126
347000
2000
pričali o aktivnu repu.
06:07
Video: Myhrvold thinks tail-cracking dinosaurs
127
349000
2000
Video: Myhrvold misli da su dinosauri koji koriste rep
06:09
were interested in love, not war.
128
351000
5000
bili za ljubav, a ne rat.
06:14
Robert Full: He talked about the tail being a whip for communication.
129
356000
3000
Robert Full: Govorio je o repu koji su koristili kao bič za komunikaciju.
06:17
It can also be used in defense.
130
359000
4000
Može se također koristiti i u obrani.
06:21
Pretty powerful.
131
363000
2000
Poprilično je jak.
06:23
So we then went back and looked at the animal.
132
365000
2000
Zatim smo se vratili i istražili životinju.
06:25
And we ran it up a surface.
133
367000
2000
I ponovno smo ju stavili da se penje po površini.
06:27
But this time what we did is we put a slippery patch
134
369000
2000
Ovaj put smo stavili skliski dio
06:29
that you see in yellow there.
135
371000
2000
koji vidite označen žutom bojom.
06:31
And watch on the right what the animal is doing with its tail
136
373000
4000
I gledajte sad desno što životinja radi s repom
06:35
when it slips. This is slowed down 10 times.
137
377000
2000
kada se oklizne. Ovo je usporeno 10 puta.
06:37
So here is normal speed.
138
379000
2000
Ovo je normalna brzina.
06:39
And watch it now slip,
139
381000
2000
I gledajte sad kako se poskliznula
06:41
and see what it does with its tail.
140
383000
2000
i vidite što radi s repom.
06:46
It has an active tail that functions as a fifth leg,
141
388000
2000
Ima aktivan rep koji funkcionira kao peta noga
06:48
and it contributes to stability.
142
390000
2000
i doprinosi stabilnosti.
06:50
If you make it slip a huge amount, this is what we discovered.
143
392000
4000
A posklizne li se jako, ovo smo otkrili.
06:57
This is incredible.
144
399000
2000
Ovo je izvanredno.
06:59
The engineers had a really good idea.
145
401000
3000
Inženjeri su dobili stvarno dobru ideju.
07:02
And then of course we wondered,
146
404000
2000
I naravno da smo se zapitali,
07:04
okay, they have an active tail, but let's picture them.
147
406000
2000
dobro, imaju aktivan rep, ali hajdemo ih zamisliti.
07:06
They're climbing up a wall, or a tree.
148
408000
3000
Penju se uz zid ili drvo.
07:09
And they get to the top and let's say there's some leaves there.
149
411000
3000
I popeli su se na vrh i recimo da je neki list tamo.
07:12
And what would happen if they climbed on the underside of that leaf,
150
414000
3000
I što će se dogoditi ako se popnu na donju stranu tog lista
07:15
and there was some wind, or we shook it?
151
417000
3000
i počne puhati vjetar ili ga mi prodrmamo?
07:18
And we did that experiment, that you see here.
152
420000
3000
Napravili smo taj eksperiment, koji vidite ovdje.
07:21
(Applause)
153
423000
1000
(Pljesak)
07:22
And this is what we discovered.
154
424000
2000
Otkrili smo sljedeće:
07:24
Now that's real time. You can't see anything.
155
426000
2000
ovo je normalno pušteno, ne možete ništa vidjeti.
07:26
But there it is slowed down.
156
428000
2000
Ali evo ga usporeno.
07:30
What we discovered was the world's fastest air-righting response.
157
432000
3000
Ono što smo otkrili jest najbrži odgovor zračnog ispravljanja.
07:33
For those of you who remember your physics, that's a zero-angular-momentum
158
435000
2000
Za one koji se sjećaju fizike, to je odgovor ispravljanja
07:35
righting response. But it's like a cat.
159
437000
2000
na 0 stupnjeva u trenu. To je poput mačaka.
07:37
You know, cats falling. Cats do this. They twist their bodies.
160
439000
3000
Znate, kada mačke padaju, čine to. Izokrenu svoje tijelo.
07:40
But geckos do it better.
161
442000
2000
Ali gekoni to rade bolje.
07:42
And they do it with their tail.
162
444000
3000
I to rade sa svojim repom.
07:45
So they do it with this active tail as they swing around.
163
447000
3000
To rade sa svojim aktivnim repom dok mašu uokolo.
07:48
And then they always land in the sort of superman skydiving posture.
164
450000
4000
I uvijek slete na nekakav supermenski način.
07:54
Okay, now we wondered, if we were right,
165
456000
2000
OK, sad smo se pitali, ako smo u pravu,
07:56
we should be able to test this in a physical model, in a robot.
166
458000
3000
moći ćemo to testirati na fizičkom modelu, na robotu.
07:59
So for TED we actually built a robot,
167
461000
2000
Pa smo zapravo za TED napravili robota,
08:01
over there, a prototype, with the tail.
168
463000
3000
ovdje, prototip s repom.
08:04
And we're going to attempt the first air-righting response
169
466000
2000
I pokušat ćemo sada prvi odgovor zračnog ispravljanja
08:06
in a tail, with a robot.
170
468000
2000
s repom, na robotu.
08:08
If we could have the lights on it.
171
470000
2000
Ako možemo dobiti svjetlo ovdje.
08:10
Okay, there it goes.
172
472000
5000
Dobro, evo ga.
08:15
And show the video.
173
477000
2000
I pokažite video.
08:20
There it is.
174
482000
2000
Eto ga.
08:22
And it works just like it does in the animal.
175
484000
3000
I radi upravo kao i kod životinja.
08:25
So all you need is a swing of the tail to right yourself.
176
487000
4000
Znači, sve što trebate jest mahati repom kako biste se ispravili.
08:29
(Applause)
177
491000
2000
(Pljesak)
08:31
Now, of course, we were normally frightened
178
493000
2000
Sad, naravno, normalno da smo se zabrinuli
08:33
because the animal has no gliding adaptations,
179
495000
2000
zato što životinja nema adaptaciju na klizanje
08:35
so we thought, "Oh that's okay. We'll put it in a vertical wind tunnel.
180
497000
4000
pa smo mislili: „Oh, to je ok. Stavit ćemo je u vertikalnu zračnu cijev.
08:39
We'll blow the air up, we'll give it a landing target, a tree trunk,
181
501000
3000
Pustit ćemo zrak gore, stavit ćemo cilj za slijetanje, nekakvo deblo,
08:42
just outside the plexi-glass enclosure, and see what it does.
182
504000
4000
točno izvan ograde od pleksiglassa i vidjeti što će se dogoditi“.
08:46
(Laughter)
183
508000
1000
(Smijeh)
08:47
So we did. And here is what it does.
184
509000
3000
To smo i učinili. I ovo se dogodilo:
08:50
So the wind is coming from the bottom. This is slowed down 10 times.
185
512000
5000
Vjetar je puhao od dolje. Ovo je usporeno 10 puta.
08:55
It does an equilibrium glide. Highly controlled.
186
517000
4000
Dobili smo izjednačeno klizanje. Dobro kontrolirano.
08:59
This is sort of incredible. But actually it's quite beautiful,
187
521000
3000
Ovo je poprilično izvanredno. Ali zapravo je jako lijepo
09:02
when you take a picture of it.
188
524000
3000
kada to slikate.
09:05
And it's better than that, it -- just in the slide -- maneuvers in mid-air.
189
527000
5000
Čak je i bolje od toga, to u trenutku klizanja manevrira u zraku.
09:10
And the way it does it, is it takes its tail
190
532000
2000
A način na koji to čini jest da maše repom
09:12
and it swings it one way to yaw left, and it swings its other way to yaw right.
191
534000
4000
u jednu stranu, da skrene lijevo i u drugu stranu da skrene desno.
09:16
So we can maneuver this way.
192
538000
2000
Tamo i mi možemo manevrirati.
09:18
And then -- we had to film this several times to believe this --
193
540000
3000
I -- morali smo ovo snimiti nekoliko puta kako bismo povjerovali --
09:21
it also does this. Watch this.
194
543000
3000
čini i ovo. Gledajte ovo.
09:24
It oscillates its tail up and down like a dolphin.
195
546000
2000
Pomiče rep gore dolje kao dupin.
09:26
It can actually swim through the air.
196
548000
3000
Zapravo, može plivati kroz zrak.
09:29
But watch its front legs. Can you see what they are doing?
197
551000
5000
Ali gledajte njegove prednje noge. Vidite li što radi?
09:34
What does that mean for the origin of flapping flight?
198
556000
3000
Što ovo znači za podrijetlo kliznog letenja?
09:37
Maybe it's evolved from coming down from trees,
199
559000
3000
Možda je evoluirao od spuštanja s drveta
09:40
and trying to control a glide.
200
562000
2000
i pokušava kontrolirati klizanje.
09:42
Stay tuned for that.
201
564000
2000
Ostanite i dalje s nama da saznate.
09:44
(Laughter)
202
566000
2000
(Smijeh)
09:46
So then we wondered, "Can they actually maneuver with this?"
203
568000
3000
Zatim smo se pitali: „Mogu li zapravo manevrirati s ovim?“
09:49
So there is the landing target. Could they steer towards it
204
571000
3000
Ovo je meta za slijetanje. Mogu li se spustiti prema njoj
09:52
with these capabilities? Here it is in the wind tunnel.
205
574000
2000
pomoću onih sposobnosti? Evo ga u zračnom tunelu.
09:54
And it certainly looks like it.
206
576000
2000
I poprilično sliči manevriranju.
09:56
You can see it even better from down on top.
207
578000
3000
Možete ga bolje vidjeti odozdo prema gore.
09:59
Watch the animal.
208
581000
2000
Gledajte životinju.
10:02
Definitely moving towards the landing target.
209
584000
2000
Sigurno se kreće prema meti za slijetanje.
10:04
Watch the whip of its tail as it does it. Look at that.
210
586000
4000
Gledajte pokrete njezina repa dok ide. Gledajte.
10:08
It's unbelievable.
211
590000
2000
Nevjerojatno.
10:10
So now we were really confused,
212
592000
2000
Sada smo poprilično zbunjeni,
10:12
because there are no reports of it gliding.
213
594000
2000
budući da nema zabilješki kako on kliže.
10:14
So we went, "Oh my god, we have to go to the field,
214
596000
2000
Počeli smo pričati: „O, moj Bože, moramo otići van
10:16
and see if it actually does this."
215
598000
2000
i vidjeti da li to zapravo rade“.
10:18
Completely opposite of the way you'd see it on a nature film, of course.
216
600000
3000
Posve različito od načina koje ste vidjeli u filmovima o prirodi, naravno.
10:21
We wondered, "Do they actually glide in nature?"
217
603000
3000
Pitali smo se: „Kližu li zapravo u prirodi?“
10:24
Well we went to the forests of Singapore and Southeast Asia.
218
606000
2000
Otišli smo u šume Singapura i jugoistočne Azije.
10:26
And the next video you see is the first time we've showed this.
219
608000
2000
Sljedeći video koji vidite prvi put prikazujemo.
10:28
This is the actual video -- not staged, a real research video --
220
610000
3000
Ovo je stvaran video, nije napravljen, pravi istraživački video
10:31
of animal gliding down. There is a red trajectory line.
221
613000
3000
životinje koja kliže dolje -- ovo je crvena linija puta.
10:34
Look at the end to see the animal.
222
616000
2000
Pogledajte kraj da vidite životinju.
10:36
But then as it gets closer to the tree,
223
618000
2000
Ali, kako se približava drvetu,
10:38
look at the close-up. And see if you can see it land.
224
620000
3000
gledate ju približeno. I vidite, ako možete, kako je sletjela.
10:42
So there it comes down. There is a gecko at the end of that trajectory line.
225
624000
3000
Evo silazi. Gekon je na kraju linije puta.
10:45
You see it there? There? Watch it come down.
226
627000
2000
Vidite li ga? Ovdje? Gledajte kako silazi.
10:47
Now watch up there and you can see the landing. Did you see it hit?
227
629000
3000
A sad gledajte gore i vidjet ćete kako se spušta. Jeste li vidjeli udarac?
10:50
It actually uses its tail too,
228
632000
2000
Zapravo koristi rep i za to.
10:52
just like we saw in the lab.
229
634000
3000
Kao što smo i vidjeli u laboratoriju.
10:55
So now we can continue this mutualism
230
637000
4000
Sad možemo nastaviti taj mutualizam
10:59
by suggesting that they can make an active tail.
231
641000
3000
predlaganjem da se može napraviti aktivni rep.
11:02
And here is the first active tail, in the robot,
232
644000
5000
Evo ga, prvi aktivni rep, na robotu,
11:07
made by Boston Dynamics.
233
649000
3000
napravljen u Boston Dynamicsu.
11:10
So to conclude, I think we need to build biomutualisms, like I showed,
234
652000
4000
Da zaključimo, mislim da trebamo napraviti biomutalizam kao što sam i pokazao,
11:14
that will increase the pace of basic discovery in their application.
235
656000
3000
tako da povećamo brzinu osnovnih otkrića u njihovoj primjeni.
11:17
To do this though, we need to redesign education in a major way,
236
659000
3000
Kako bismo to postigli, trebamo naveliko prepraviti obrazovanje,
11:20
to balance depth with interdisciplinary communication,
237
662000
3000
treba uravnotežiti dubinu s interdisciplinarnom komunikacijom.
11:23
and explicitly train people how to contribute to, and benefit from other disciplines.
238
665000
5000
I posebno naučiti ljude kako da doprinesu, a i imaju koristi od drugih disciplina.
11:28
And of course you need the organisms and the environment to do it.
239
670000
4000
A, naravno, za to trebate organizam i okoliš.
11:32
That is, whether you care about security, search and rescue or health,
240
674000
3000
Zato, bilo da brinete o sigurnosti, istraživanju i izvorima ili zdravlju,
11:35
we must preserve nature's designs,
241
677000
2000
moramo očuvati dizajne prirode.
11:37
otherwise these secrets will be lost forever.
242
679000
3000
U protivnom će tajne biti izgubljene zauvijek.
11:40
And from what I heard from our new president,
243
682000
4000
I, kako sam čuo od našeg predsjednika,
11:44
I'm very optimistic. Thank you.
244
686000
2000
poprilično sam optimističan. Hvala.
11:46
(Applause)

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Robert Full - BiologistRobert Full studies cockroach legs and gecko feet. His research is helping build tomorrow's robots, based on evolution's ancient engineering.
Why you should listen
UC Berkeley biologist Robert Full is fascinated by the motion of creatures like cockroaches, crabs and geckos having many legs, unusual feet or talented tails. He has led an effort to demonstrate the value of learning from Nature by the creating interdisciplinary collaborations of biologists, engineers, mathematicians and computer scientists from academia and industry. He founded CiBER, the Center for interdisciplinary Bio-inspiration in Education and Research, and the Poly-PEDAL Laboratory, which studies the Performance, Energetics and Dynamics of Animal Locomotion (PEDAL) in many-footed creatures (Poly).
His research shows how studying a diversity of animals leads to the discovery of general principles which inspire the design of novel circuits, artificial muscles, exoskeletons, versatile scampering legged search-and-rescue robots and synthetic self-cleaning dry adhesives based on gecko feet. He is passionate about discovery-based education leading to innovation -- and he even helped Pixar’s insect animations in the film A Bug's Life.
