现今世界发展迅速,资源却有限,我们应如何开发较环保的交通方式,减少污染和原材料消耗?产品和机械人又如何能做到更可靠、活动更流畅和高效?
无论是动植物或微生物,所有物种都有自己一套求生方式,懂得以最精准的方法协调身体活动,加速、逃跑和攻击,并以最节能的方法避开碰撞,从而走得更远。当中的进化过程经过几百万年时间才完成,期间更没有制造任何垃圾,没有浪费垂手可得的资源。
今集,我们会看看工程师、企业家和科学家,如何从海陆空生物身上寻找灵感,尝试仿效它们活动自如的机制,开创更方便的未来。
Mobility
In a world in constant acceleration but with limited resources, how to invent means of transportation that are less polluting, less greedy in raw materials and with no impact on our environment? How to make objects and robots with more reliable, more fluid and more efficient movements?
Animals, plants, microbes ... The living has found remarkable solutions to escape and attack optimally, to propel, accelerate, coordinate its movements in the most precise way, and to avoid collisions energy-efficiently, to go the furthest possible. This development took millions of years but without generating any rubbish, without wasting the materials at immediate disposal.
In this episode, we will discover how, by seeking to copy the super solutions imagined by these organisms to move as efficiently as possible on land, in the water or in the air, the creators of the future, whether they are engineers, entrepreneurs or scientists, invent the world of tomorrow.
