DESCRIPTION:Prof. Sangbae Kim\, Biomimetic robotics\, MIT\nBiological mach
 ines created by millions of years of evolution suggest a paradigm shift in
  robotic design. Realizing animals’ magnificent locomotive capabilities 
 is next big challenge in mobile robotic applications. The talk will discus
 s innovation through ‘principle extraction’ from biology. The embodime
 nt of his innovations includes Stickybot\, a climbing robot that employs t
 he world’s first synthetic directional dry adhesive inspired by geckos\,
  and the MIT Cheetah\, designed after the fastest land animal. Our vision 
 is to open new frontiers in robotics and leading to advanced mobile robots
  that can save lives in dangerous situations\, and new all-around robotic 
 transportation systems for the mobility-impaired.
