Why Robots That Bend Are Better

  • Robots of the future may be softer, squishier and bendier than robots today. This could make them ideal for space exploration. Check out kiwico.com/Veritasium50 for 50% off your first month of any subscription!
    On Thursday February 18th, 2021 the NASA Perseverance Rover will land on Mars. It is a wonderful robot, made out of steel and wire - but will future robots look like Perseverance? There is an emerging field of research on "soft robots", where the machines are flexible. These soft robots have many advantages over traditional robots - they're safer, lighter, more flexible and can change their shape and size.
    NASA is investigating the use of soft robots for space missions. For future visits to Enceladus or Europa, a lander could cut a hole in the ice and then insert a compliant robot through the hole. This robot could then grow and change shape on the other side.

      🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️
      🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
      🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
      🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
      🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
      🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
      🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
      📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚
      🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
      🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

      @2CSST2 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@1islam1 The Quran is a book of rules and explanations about how the world works made up by people who actually knew very little about how the world works, with its rules were based on a morality that's hundreds of years outdated. So basically, holding this book as sacred, the point of Islam, is a very good way to freeze humanity's progress about our view of the world back hundreds of years to an era of relative vast ignorance, and to also freeze its progress in terms of morality to an era of savagery. That's what Islam is.

    *Many robots (including soft robots) are programmed for locomotion and other forms of motor control based upon the wiring principles of central pattern generators* (CPGs)-neural circuits that produce a wide frequency range of oscillatory rhythmic outputs even in the absence of sensory feedback-that have been adapted by evolution over hundreds of millions of years across the animal kingdom for axial, quadrupedal, and bipedal locomotion, as well as many other peculiar forms of locomotion, including rolling locomotion akin to that of the robot showcased in this video here.

      The joints are not the issue, its the nylon tube. If it goes over something sharp and gets an abrasion, the robot will no longer be able to move. And the majority of the force will be applied to the nylon while rolling as it is not a perfectly elastic collision.

    the biggest application for robots right now is a small mule that is quiet and flexible enough to endure tough terrain as a human could, I.E military applications, I don't think these robots can carry much or do much, or even move that fast. There are lesser applications for disaster rescue and other dangerous jobs but a soldier's mule would be a good one as the infantry kit is already huge and heavy.

    I don't think they'll ever be more capable than hard, rigid robots. I think hard robots will just get smarter A.I. and more joints and rotation points, thereby giving them a wider range of applications they can handle and being better at not hurting humans.
    Maybe some specific situations where they have to directly deal with people, but I think advanced A.I. and maybe a squishy shell applied to a hard robot would more than make up for that.

    • @davidwuhrer6704
      @davidwuhrer6704 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It really depends on the application.
      More joints means more movable parts means more things that can break.
      (And they always break when you need them the most. That's the stapler principle.)
      Certainly, there are applications where you want a manipulator that is hard.
      But you can have that even with a compliant system. Not every part needs to be elastic for a system to be compliant, it just means that it can change shape without having joints.
      For complex tasks, there is always the option of hybrid systems.
