Why I Make Robots the Size of a Grain of Rice, by Sarah Bergbreiter (Júlia Boronat)

Why I make robots the size of a grain of rice, by Sarah Bergbreiter

I watched this ted talk from Sarah Bergbreiter which shows a new kind of robot, a tiny one. Sarah and her lab team studied some little insects like ants to make a robotic version with the same body system. Insects are able to move over rough terrain or jump"long and high". A tiny robot with these abilities can be useful. For example, after an earthquake they can help looking for survivors under the rubber. Moreover, they might swim through our blood in future because they are amazingly tiny.

Personally, I'm not much interested in robot's technology but this video attracted me and I really enjoyed it. I think it's easy to understand what they did and why. Furthermore, the video shows that wild life is an inspiration source for technology, as we have already seen.
