羅伯特•福爾: 工程學以及進化

昆蟲和動物進化到有著一些驚人的能力 -- 但是，正如羅伯特指出，許多動物實際上是過度設計。訣竅是只複製必要的東西。他顯示了人類工程師如何可以從動物的技巧學習。

Biological creatures like geckos and cockroaches move with astonishing agility thanks to millions of years of evolutionary trial and error. Their legs act as springs, allowing even simple-bodied insects to scramble over obstacles without slowing down or needing a brain to control every move. Rather than copying nature exactly, engineers are learning to harness these underlying design principles to build robots that are both robust and adaptable. Gecko-inspired adhesives and springy-legged machines reveal how studying animal movement unlocks new possibilities for technology.
