FUTURE NASA ROBOTS! w. pictures! and BILL NYE... NIAC makes Sci-Fi Real!

FUTURE NASA ROBOTS! w. pictures! and BILL NYE... NIAC makes Sci-Fi Real! They take ideas from SCI-FI and evaluate them for possible use in the the future! How cool a job is that? Filmed at the NASA 101 panel discussion for filmmakers. There is also another office that cooperates with movie production companies to make the portrayal of NASA and other space technology more realistic!

Yes, that is Bill Nye The Science Guy on the left! ;-)

Soft-Bodied Robot Fish Can Swim Like the Real Thing

More science news and info at: http://www.coconutsciencelab.com - in the first issue of the journal, 'Soft Robotics,' MIT researchers report on their new self-contained, autonomous, soft robotic "fish."

Each side of the fish's tail has a long channel bored through it. Carbon dioxide gas from a canister in the fish's abdomen causes the channel to inflate, bending the tail in the opposite direction.

The robotic fish was built by Andrew Marchese, a graduate student in MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Please rate and comment, thanks!

Robot "Big Dog" Boston Dynamics (REAL)

Los robots caminantes de Boston Dynamics tienen una reputacin de ser bastante giles, capacidad de caminar inclusive sobre terrenos difciles y de poder con terrenos que en muchos casos son hasta difciles para humanos. Un vdeo de uno de sus robots llamado BigDog muestran a un robot caminante que emite mucho ruido, opera con gasolina, cuadrpedo, que escala laderas, viaja sobre la nieve, camina precariamente sobre hielo adems de sostenerse bien parado mientras recibe patadas de un hombre.

Dr Vytas SunSpiral - NASA Robot Man | London Real

SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/TnKeLh
NASA Engineer Dr. Vytas SunSpiral.
Dr. Vytas SunSpiral of NASA gives a lecture in Lausanne, Switzerland about Intelligent Robotics and joins us to talk about how he uses human physiology and movement in his designs, why the study of animals can help him construct better robots, how collision avoidance isn't perfectly possible in the real world, and how martial arts and gymnastics inspire his creations.

"The only reason to have a brain is to control motion, originally." - Vytas (01:33)

"Animals that are moving change their relationship to gravity all the time." - Vytas (03:15)

"Collision avoidance isn't perfectly possible in the real world, there are other actors out there." - Vytas (04:03)

"You've all heard of the chicken with its head cut off, and it's a funny joke but it's real." - Vytas (05:27)

"This is where I get to brag about the work you do here [at EPFL]." - Vytas (06:16)

"How do you find humans inspire your robotic work?" - Brian (07:09)

"To get the disruptive 'game changing' ideas you have to attack the problem from a different angle." - Vytas (09:17)

"Are you trying to build robotics that are going to land on Mars someday?" - Brian (11:20)

"I used to do a lot of medieval martial arts and I always used the Sun as a symbol on my shield." - Vytas (18:31)
