Cool things from nature.
Hey Alan, Alan, Alan, Alan, Alan
This is hilarious!
Icky Sewer Creatures
This is some kind of nasty, freaky, straight out of a sci-fi flick, creature that eats poop. Some think it might be a Tubifex tubifex. Whatever it is, it’s fuckin yuck.
Lyre Bird flawlessly imatates the sounds of camera shutters, car alarms, and chainsaws
Mocking birds are cool and good at imitating sounds, but I think the lyre bird has them beat.
A-Pod: Ant Inspired Hexapod Bobot
This is just begging for a nice commercial jingle.
A-Pod is an ant inspired hexapod robot with a 2 DOF abdomen (tail), a 3 DOF head with large mandibles. 6 legs with 3 DOF each. Total 25 servos. This video demonstrates body movement and mandible control. I still have to do some mechanical improvements to the legs (therefore little walking). The robot are remotely controlled with a custom 2,4 GHz RC transmitter.
