We meet Pleurobot, a Salamander-like robot that can both walk on land and swim in the water (with a wetsuit!) Kishore, our new science correspondent, chats with professor Auke Ijspeert of the EPFL about how Pluerobot's movements were programmed and how biorobotics engineers studied the physiology of salamanders in making this robot.
Thanks to Auke Ijspeert and his team for chatting with! Learn more about the EPFL's biorobotics laboratory here: biorob.epfl.ch/

Kishore seems like a really good interviewer. He really asked all the interesting questions here!
+Coffster Probably, but I was just trying to make a bad joke referencing the way the Daily Show makes everyone "senior correspondent" of X. We were joking about that off camera before the shot. Meant to be self deprecating.
+Kishore Hari Amazing, this must be the first time I have seem something like this. The internet needs more people like you Kishore.
Kishore Hari Ok well, I will give you the benefit of doubt for now then and watch a few more with you before i make up my mind :)
+Kishore Hari I thought the tone made that obvious. But this IS the Internet I suppose, and anything you say can be misinterpreted.
I do agree about your interviews though, and hope to see more in the future!
Kishore Hari fuck nut
Please make these large enough to ride into battle!
hahahaha I'd like to see that
+Xoediac Yeah let's put a flamethrower in the mouth and machineguns in the back
it might not be fast, robust or waterproof, but if you make it big enough it'll scare the poop out of ISIS.
+B33SON1 It could be waterproof and fast
+Matt Mustang And make it transform into an invincible fighting robot when it's rider fuses with it!
Too much?
...my bad.
Kishore, Easy to watch and listen too. Cheers! Job well done.
Kishore is fantastic.
hey its you
Translizard Roll out
I like Kishore as a host. He's enthusiastic, asks good questions and is fun to watch.
kishore is good repoter. very direct questions and polite.
quiero conprar ese robot
Auke is absolutely superb at quickly and concisely explaining concepts.
I do think "search and rescue" is becoming something of an easy catch all answer to the the question "why did you build this cool robot?" though :-)
Really excited about these new partnerships/ new senior correspondents. And the idea that Will is so hard to replace there needs to be multiple people making up for his absence.
Seems to be a good interviewer, excited to see what comes of him.
Hes Aziz's brother.
That was extremely well articulated. I was only marginally interested but stayed to the end due to how well it was narrated. Interested to see his next video.
Absolutely
Kishore brings it. Good questions, good on camera.
this is a new era for Tested *****
Kishore is a great interviewer. Can't wait to see more on the robotics front!.
Very cool! I'm really liking the direction of the YT channel, with the recent additions of Kishore and Patrick, loving the content and commentary from both of them!
I love the little robot. By the way, Kishore is a great interviewer :)
Great interview, Kishore. Very "Tested" questions: technical, yet accessible.
I want one its so cute...
+Shy Dragoness I know! I just want to pick it up and hug it!
+Shy Dragoness I know right!?
I want it to!
5 minutes later: NOWNOWNOW!
Shy Dragoness lŽ
Awesome job great interview
Very cool series. Really interesting what directions we're progressing to.
Welcome, Kishore!
I like the look of pleurobot. Kinda think - amphibious snake-like robot called “ACM-R5” - is a bit more effective. Although it's been a while since I've seen anything on it. It'd be cool of the robot snake could subdivide and reconnect as needed.
Great project, sure beats my old RoboRaptor toy! :)
Better than my He-Man Battle Bones
Absolutely.
Degrees of freedom.
Amazing! It actually makes so much sense making a salamander! Why has no one thought of this before? Evolution for the win!
This is excellent. Great Content. Hope to see more like this in the future. Thanks tested!
Welcome to the team Kishore! You did a job :D
That's neat, I made a VERY simplified version of one of these in Besiege a month or so ago. Unfortunately, I didn't realize what I had stumbled onto.
I really like Kishore. A nice add to the channel. Welcome sir.
Nawww. That's the cutest thing! I want one to keep in my tub!
It's not a wetsuit, it's a drysuit. It's not for keeping warm (what a wetsuit does) but for keeping the thing dry (hence the name drysuit).
Man you guys make me ask this question a lot, but how much money do I need to throw at the screen until an amazon drone drops this on my lap?
Kishore: You're a fantastic interlocutor. I can easily imagine Discover snatching you up for your own show, but I hope you stick with Tested for a while: a real pleasure!
But every time I hear "search and rescue", I risk injury due to the violence of my involuntary eye roll. An amphibious robot that can crawl up pipes-how many use cases are there annually for such a S&R scenario? What I really see is 500 or 1000 of these beasties trundling out of the surf, their nano-coated electronics embedded in 3D-printed RDX skeletons. They swarm over the target area driven by a combination of GPS, inertial tracking and pre-loaded satellite maps. Within a millisecond of reaching their pre-determined positions, three kilotons affects the kinetic disassembly of the targeted compound, the shaped breaching charges of their frozen grins rending asunder everything in their path, softening the target sufficiently that the SEALs who quickly follow will mostly be busy administering security rounds.
Robots are really cool, but let us not kid ourselves about where the money for further development will be going and what the results will invariably by.
What's funny is my friends and I were making robots like this in GMOD years ago...
I'm thinking that swimming motion could be modified to just a tail like section that's mounted to a harness. My thought is it could allow double leg or single leg amputees the ability to swim like a bad was. Also they mentioned search and rescue options for the purpose, why not blow up the size and have it attatched underneath a raft and would allow ground troops or rescue a stealthy way to reach land by being now to kill their onboard motor and switch to robot is features. These are just a few ideas. I need a job :).
I wanted to say badass not was.
kishore I enjoy the new Tested senior science corespondent! I felt these videos were a little long but still enjoyable.
ese esta a la venta
Absolutely!
"it was almost mammalian"
*facepalm*
+SilentS I immediately regretted that sentence too. Trying to get across the nature of how their simple movements evoked a human response.
+Kishore Hari LOL
+Kishore Hari I thought you did a really good job! incredible machine!
Is this a robot or remote vehicle? Is it autonomous? It looked like they were controlling it.
In research projects like this, there's sometimes a tendency to make only small advancements, in hopes of receiving continuing grants and steady work for years to come.
MIND=BLOWN! :)
So it's amphibious *themed*, not quite actually amphibious.
Wow. You really kept the best for last. Fantastic! I want to build my own now. XD
Isn't it great when a person's first words on his first video on a channel he just joined is a "senior" correction to a fellow channel member.
More of the brown guy with all the questions!
Too bad we don't get to see the video stream
very informative video , great video!
Why is this on 24fps?
this is really awesome!
Pretty sure I had one of these when I was a kid. It carried my He-man figures. Doesn't look like this one can even carry ONE. 1 star.
The Dragon Warriors are here let the Battle begin, Salamanders are capable of regenerating lost limbs, does this mean when the servos are worn out it can reproduce another.
I prefer it when Norm does the interviews
NEED A ONE DAY BUILD
+Timothy Alder check out DiResta
Give it wings and you've almost got Toothless.
Looks like a Stelix...
Its incredible!
Let's build a robot that can swim! What? Make it waterproof? No we'll just wrap it in something for swimming.
Probably would've gone past their budget to build this.
Mweh, they can easily make it waterproof with 3D printing, I'm sure future generations of the machine will be waterproof
+Sinbad Saved Us All He's right; gotta take baby steps. Can't blow all your funding on a single prototype if it won't work.
+Sinbad Saved Us All my guess is that making it waterproof with that same hard material, woul've limited greatly the angle of freedom of it's moviments, thefore not being able to copy the moviments of the real animal
p.s: english is not my first language, so cut me some slack :)
+Ayeamme The wetsuit is called skin in real life, they should try to attach it permanently.
Absolutely.
genial 👍
I want it!
Technology's still got a long way to go for humanity to build the ultimate robotic salamander that's pretty much capable of slipping through tight cracks and pipes to save lives..
Where can we buy one to put together and learn about robotics and coding?
This is totally off topic, but does anyone know of a robot with stereoscopic video feed, or why nobody seems to be making them?
Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah.
Let me guess ,he's dutch
I kind of hear it in his voice and how he says salamander
"Why a salamander?"
"Cause we want to scare the fuck out of you."
Cool they made He-Man Battle Bones mk2.

+bluegreenash I used to own these toys as kid! the memories...
2:59 i see the real eyes, but the nose actually looks like the eyes which makes it even cuter!
wow no footage of it swimming..
the new guy is presumptuous...
Any ways swiss
Dynamixel? Holy crap, they've got like $3,000 in servos in that thing! Seems quiet as hell though.
Tested, that was 2015. Could you please go over there and show us the new model. Thank you.
mi nonbre es aldo tengo 11 años y soy de paraguay sudamerica
absolutely
@ :10 Watch Out, We Got A BadAss Over Here!
that guy is making me crazy.
he wants to touch everything in every video and forces himself onto the bots
#kishore_hari
"Is this as complex as the real animal" derp derp derp..
That looks like BATTLEBONES from "MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE"
Where i can buy this robot
i thought he said the guys name was icebeard
if it were bigger could it have the 40ish vertebra motors?
Yes but they want it to be the same size as a real salamander.
+Timothy Alder its much bigger than a real salamander :')
+maximthefox If you watched the video, he says there is a real salamander the same size as the robot
Giant salamander's are about that size maybe a bit smaller, having 40 individual motors in the vertebrae would make this think like 8 feet long
While the concept is interesting why can't someone make a robot that will empty the dishwasher, set the table and take out the garbage. This is something I need now, today, no swimsuit required.
Great! Now make it massive and armed with vaporizing lasers, 6000 psi clamping jaw, a violent AI with intent of murder and the ability to produce a terrifying distorted scream.
Totally thought he said the guys last name was Icebeard.
nice
Reminds me of Battle Bones (Masters of the Universe) .
I thought the title said Pleasure Bot
He's a much better interviewer than the Asian guy.
"emergency and rescue" = public facade.
this is intended to be an autonomous amphibious military drone
This is intelligently design. No amount of mindless, randomness will give this result. The real animal must have even more Intellignce behind it.
No peta guys complaining about the Salamander exposed to X-rays? weird.
Salamanders walk a lot like alligators.
it's face kinda looks like the splatterhouse mask. in a cute but still could tear you in half kinda way.
Interesting
Why are these robot developers always trying to be involved in first responding to emergencies. This robot in particular seems unsuited to such a field.
+B33SON1 I think giving first response as a reason for building it helps them to get funding, the government isn't going to fund a robot built for entertainment purposes. And I think given a few more generations of this, it may be much more functional for underwater rescue or salvage type missions, I don't know...whatever.
There's lots of things wheels and propellers have issues with, efficiency and versatility being one of them. A robot like this will be surprisingly versatile and efficient when compared to other amphibious vehicles, - if they were to get these robots right.
+B33SON1 The robot is unsuited... Thats why they made a suit for it!
+Hamstertractor - wheels and ship's propellers may be less versatile than legs, but they are way more efficient (in the case of wheels, if you flatten most of your planet).
Can't wait for the first usable efficient artificial muscles, so that electromotors will become obsolete for those kind of applications.
Do they have robots based on birds? Like ostriches or chickens.
Ever heard of the festo smart bird? Pretty cool ornithopter that is.
Uncomfortable eye contact is strong with this one O_O
Also, he didn't create this machine, he fabricated or made it. Not create.
I want one
I like Crocodile Robot!my lovely!
