Intelligent Floating Machines Inspired by Nature | Anicka Yi | TED

[@prachi1888]

Her communication skills is so soft and understandable. I'm so much impressed with the way she has described about that technology.

[@chekoisowned]

She is in sage mode

[@Nicc-DR]

Anicka explains very clear, brief, she explains with more easy words so that we can understand what she wanted to tell us, and her ideas were interesting and seeing her development on the aerobes, applause 👏

[@RampinRabit]

Imagine going outside and seeing those flying jellyfish floating around the sky. Pretty cool

[@hamzakivines4519]

No cool it seems to me too scary that we don't have our own life which we can happily we are depending on those things whom we created and accepting that they will give us joy so saad,🧐

[@caralynschwartz4442]

be one with the open third eye

[@sunnyday6679]

Especially at night, if they lit up 😍

[@benzimusaev3083]

Lol well star link is those jelly fish

[@PongoXBongo]

Imagine a smaller one of these with an Echo Dot or Google Home device built in that gently floats behind you around the house. That'd be pretty cool, if the fans aren't too loud.

[@iRemmi]

very cool idea!

[@norahu2663]

I still remember I was attracted by them in the Tate Modern and spent hours to observe them through the windows. They are charming and your eyes cannot leave them. You just want to know how they can be so soft and gentle driven by technology.

[@thecinematicmind]

It was refreshing to see a moving artwork around the Tate.

[@sciencestuffs8978]

Getting some serious War of The Worlds vibe from these….

[@GooogleGoglee]

We should just look more at the Nature and enjoy it, protect it and observe it. Instead to replace it with good looking piece of robotic art.

[@sciencestuffs8978]

This is how I feel! This is just spectacle. It’s like getting a robot dog toy instead of cherishing an actual dog! Life in the ocean is suffering severely!

[@우니-k2c]

It's such an amzing art work and speech! Well, we are living in the world surrouded by tons of techs, but we hardly think about the relationship btw the techs n human... This speech gave me a moment to think about the hidden meaning in the relationship.. Now, the Ai tech is under such a fast development that soon we will face with the machine with human like emotion.. then the relationship will be the first priority to make the balanced life style.

[@nitemare1525]

This looks amazing to be honest and I would like to have one. I wonder how much something like this goes for. I want to go to a live tedtalk someday

[@AmbientWalking]

Beautiful. Such an important artist.

[@zoeygrimes07]

I love these machines, they give me a very soothing feeling

[@mrmatias2618]

As a Junior engineer, I was excited to guessmate all possible reverse-engineering outcome processes to get this tech. But one thing all of us junior engineer will not look dumb the thought that: it is just putting Helium in those balloons plus adding some small DC motors controlled by a micro -controllers plus distance, motion, and image sensors, it may result that tech on the stage as an outcome. I was wondering if the Senior engineers Team that built this tech would tell a different narrative.

[@amirsharapov5556]

In the ocean, the creature evolved "legs" to push itself through the water. Do the legs on this creature contribute any mechanical function?

[@the_awe]

sincerely agree with Miss. Anicka Yi

[@KootFloris]

Brilliant! Awesome! And sadly in some backroom industrialists are considering how to exploit this for their own benefit, or control crowds.

[@johnnyBrwn]

That's preferable to having these erode in the null state of "conceptual art" world. At least the industrialist will catalyze the largescale adoption of these soft robots.

[@KootFloris]

@@johnnyBrwn Yeah wow, the pollution of waste materials, added needs for energy, affordable by the rich only, making more poor unemployed, abuse by dictators and armies, protect city centres from homeless, so many positive effects... ;)

[@High-Tech-Geek]

I guess it's a cultural thing, but these things conjure fear and terror in me. They remind me of the War of the Worlds invasion, the repulsive egg sacs in the Alien movie franchise and the human battery coffins in the Matrix. I even had an instinctual revulsion to her purple top. I feel an evolutionary urge to avoid spindly fuzzy dusty stringy purplish things as a poison or danger alert, similar to cockroach antennae or a virus molecule. I was not raised in an environment where squid tentacles, eels and jellyfish are deemed "cute". They are gross and repulsive like slime and snot and are reminiscent of disease. I do see these things as scientifically interesting, so I guess I can view them maybe as beautiful through that lens... like a mechanical beauty. Just keep them away from me please.

[@DA-lz9ed]

Thank you for such a intriguing talk!

[@shothoms3iipinge551]

All later life forms are most minerals,i think. .. humans want symbiosis of machine according to hue personalities,the length of toe's etc and within each design i.e heat signatures

[@arkaotic9431]

These comments don't pass the vibe check. It's an art project designed to provocate the question of humanity in machinery. It doesn't exist to "do" anything for you. it isn't a proposed future where we replace animals with machines. It's a statement trying (to what I understood anyway) to bridge the gap between emotion/nature with technology. to provoke thoughts of form above function. of symbiosis over total human rule. An artist can make someone on one topic without destroying another. Just because this was created does not discredit wildlife protection causes. There is literally no need to be so one dimensional.

[@sunnyday6679]

She literally says it at 7:22

[@SIDEKICKONYOUTUBE]

i don't understand, what is it ? does it need recharging ? does it recharges itself ? is it completely autonomous or is someone controlling its movement ?

[@antonioas709]

Or machines that surveil and police that the WEF calls art

[@invox9490]

I'm sorry, but everytime I look at a F1 car I feel so emotional about: "THIS is how far technology has taken us... Today". In a year it will be surpass by ANOTHER technology. I love science and I don't feel "scare" or "alienated" by tech in any way... The ballons are nice do.

[@Gen.Rocker]

Is it science or art? My guess is the latter. I love balloons, but an adolescent with a slingshot would be a real problem.

[@m.s.98]

This is nothing Else than a commercial for the WEF and all the technocratic Elite who want to take over the World. We really dort NEED this. What we need is more humanity, more love, more equal rights for everyone. This artist is payed by big business, lucky her, she is payed well for playing like a little girl. Sie is an Instrument for technocrats Marketing. And the naiv people give her standing ovations. What for? Crazy World.

[@leetlbt]

The F.E.W says it all really

[@beetrootbunny6816]

jup, dont fix it if its not a problem!

[@e-jim1342]

I was simply impressed by her speech. But looking at some comments, I also noticed that I have been surrounded by too much pieces of technology🫠🫠🫠 What we need firstly is nature and human made love.

[@e-jim1342]

@Hasibul Hasan Shanto Indeed. But I realized I was becoming blind to acknowledge how essential for human beings natural things are.

I don't understand why didn't she make a conversation with this aerobe she said it is like human being so no need to bring it and show it to the audience without experiencing it.

[@kylewood5607]

Look like the joint off the Incredibles 😂😂

[@Viesturs666]

Oh, my, God! Why would TED allow this commercial? She said we need to connect more with machines and technology. Wrong! We need to blend the technology seemlesly for our benefits to make our lives better. Not push it in our faces more. She said the museun had a large empty space so she decided to it with huge bubble drones. How about filling it with layers of design that resembles the nature? How about filling it with something that will make us think more about our existance on this planet tigether with animals and fauna? How about instead if trying to figure out how can we coexist with drones we should figure out how to not destroy animals and save entire species of them?

[@Iuventius]

I think this statement misses the point. The point is to be able to bring artful machines into daily lives that can "wow" us. It's not about connecting necessarily, but more about appreciating and incorporating more aspects of nature into machines. The argument should be more on where people are investing their money.

[@Chazzmatazz]

I think you can agree to disagree. Art does not need to be an argument.

[@__Hanasei__Levinus__]

OP feels like he's half-right and half-wrong... and that kind of situation for a comment will always feel unfulfilling.

[@beetrootbunny6816]

yeh, we all herd the term don't fix it if it's not broken! but she did not seem to get that

[@ossyx]

Oh naa.. don't companion me with some bubbley legs but rather save our so far existing animals companions, no ? huh, must be just me.

These are almost a entire carbon copy of the designs done by Festo almost a decade ago - yet no credit is given. She used "her team" to make it as well. I'm sorry but this video should actually be watched as a lesson on how to be creative with the marketing of your brand as a artist to generate attention - not for it's creative and unique artwork.

[@fleurdepapaye9635]

There is no such obligation to follow what you said. She stated clearly what she and her team have done together and what inspired them to make it.

[@brettcameratraveler]

@@fleurdepapaye9635 A direct copy of a design (which was also showcased on TED btw). She also lacks the skills to even build that copied design so other more talented unnamed people recreated for her - yet her talk is filled with "I" statements. She should have just been honest and lead with the concept, benefits and specific use cases than leading with herself when there was very little that was actually created by herself it in the first place. Too many "successful" artists hide behind their well crafted brands rather than leading with their craftsmanship.

It is wonderful to contemplate the created life. There are cities available for low-mobility groups of the population. But what about accessibility for robots? A bunch of wires, everyone could see the debris hanging from them. Robots require charging, this can be solved with the help of solar panels. But what to do in winter, when there is little sun, batteries do not like low temperatures. Will robots hibernate like bears? In addition to aesthetics, what benefits they can bring to the ecosystem, but the harm in the form of waste is obvious. Well, you can say that they are indoor, but what style can they fit in, I would choose a cat.
