Tiny robots with giant potential | Paul McEuen and Marc Miskin

[@daveporter4667]

I am an engineer and IT guy. I understand very well electronics. We did invented the plastics 50-60-70 years ago, and look now, all the oceans are full of plastics from visible ones to invisible ones (microfibers). The whole water on earth is contaminated, in order to drink water you have to filter it. Now in top of plastics will build and tiny robots that move in water or in our body. Do we have a way to clean up these micro robot crap we are creating? I bet not. Will deal with that later after we mess it up, as usual. Yes it does have a great potential, do pollute more the water and the planet.

Presenters: *breathes* Audience: 😂😂😂😂

[@theencore398]

I am a simple person. But when i see tiny robots, i jump in.

[@TheMrmoc7]

"Researchers around the world have taken up the task of trying to build robots that are so small that they can't be seen." Ahh, yes, the future, so exciting and horribly terrifying!

[@jordanhanic2678]

Honestly

[@ungeschaut]

Ha. It cant work since the earth is flat! Take that scientists!

[@otisluciano6368]

i realize Im kind of randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to watch newly released tv shows online ?

[@braylenwyatt5528]

@Otis Luciano ehh try Flixportal. you can find it by googling:) -braylen

[@otisluciano6368]

@Braylen Wyatt Thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it !

[@urvashisharma7415]

another useful tech that can be misused so well by some people

[@incognitojon902]

It definitely will military will use it to make better weapons

[@Dionyzos]

Like almost every other tech

[@OgaKunieda]

all tech are like that

[@advent35]

we should be terrified by this!

[@Ninja-iq2xt]

look at the bright side.

[@BobMarley-sp3zm]

upload that doesn't suck, i am impressed

[@3uphoric]

Anyone else seen 'The day the earth stood still'?

[@lcifermorningstar191]

Cool stuff, now unleash them on the corona virus.

[@mohammed_wari]

Exactly. Let's see if they can do that

[@nothingbutthetruth3227]

Oh they’re already there I’m sure. 😂

[@greatergood6615]

they're more apt to use them to control us.

[@lcifermorningstar191]

@Don Corl I got the Nano Injection last Oct. 2019, along with my wife and kids. None of us got the Corona Cuties eventhough we are surrounded by Zombies.

[@dyshrunksvideos9661]

It might be the sourced of the coronavirus

[@magneat]

It sounds so cool... until military guys take care of these robots.

[@bayesianlee6447]

rapid reaction : oh that's cute. 5 years later : They are rulers.

[@abdullahsarahtech2851]

I will use this technology....... I really impressed..... o- optical w- wireless i- integrated c- circuit

[@tomasotreasaigh111]

Me really impressed too!

[@jhunt5578]

The dude on the right is like real life Ray Palmer

[@alvarorodriguez1592]

The photovoltaic cell is quite convenient for a semiconductor fabrication process, just not terribly useful (from what I can imagine), but if the energy cell could turn neurochemicals into capacitor loading, their actuators led them to move and stick to high energy sources (a relatively simple control scheme), and they had an ID’d burst radio emitter mimicking neural thresholds, this could turn into an awesome brain mapper (to use on animals).

[@whocares4592]

I can’t see the potential, without being unreasonably hopeful

[@TheMrmoc7]

That's a fault of your limited imagination and knowledge.

[@rikomagyar7850]

Brilliant.

[@Gftrrf]

[@jiblazed]

what's the name of the micro organism in the beginning? I need spelling!

[@roy.awderby]

I like the innovative ideas ❤✌🏻

[@ecrusch]

Amazing technology! Thank you !

[@unitednationscommand9356]

its been 4 years since this lecture, what's happening now on his lab? tell me in short

[@nzachariah9669]

How do you fire such small concentrated solar beams?🤔

[@puirYorick]

You just know that one day the owit will develop a taste for human blood cells and become a robotic microphage because Hollywood has taught us... everything.

[@ductuslupus87]

Wow, Woody Harrelson and Clark Kent are making some great tech. Keep it up.

[@bburnsga]

Amazing! He is very excited about the day coming, in which these will be commonplace. But with the corrupt, evil people we have in the upper echelons today, I find it absolutely terrifying.

[@Ninja-iq2xt]

amazing!

[@Azwel]

I see crispin glover in that guy a little

[@rbkalai]

Create modular robots that can be used as micro robots as well as normal sized one when all those are combined together. Like Transcendence movie

[@olyrhys8724]

These adorable geeks are how we all ended up with Terminators where our haemoglobin should be 😂

[@emmanueloluga9770]

There is nothing adorable about willful ignorance and complacency towards the bigger picture. Of course, I am not referring particularly to the gentlemen in this video. I am more alluding to these "many scientists all over the world" some of which are too naive and irresponsible o ask the more important questions of WHY? Technology has never really been a threat, as all it is, is a tool. Our use of this tool is a more important topic. Responsibility is paramount whenever delving into new territories. We need to tread more carefully. Sorry for the rant.

[@nagamendo5655]

Hmm... Is it just me or do these robots look like the „Replicators“ from the Stargate SG1 series...? Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[@buddy77587]

Amazing

[@bertharius9518]

There must be something wrong with me. A whole room of people are laughing - but I cannot see or hear what they're laughing at.

[@emmanueloluga9770]

It's just an attempt and a form of engagement in today's "reciprocation is more important than listening" world

[@leon4558]

Such a big channel, but so less people watch it

[@tanujambwani4781]

Woah...! So this is happening...the potential of 'Nano-world' is being realized...😇 (...WOC though-beware of Nano-hazards alongside..)🤔

[@youcanfindrace]

So no one here is going to talk about Superman teaching us about invisible robots?

[@ausnetting]

Now - how to power them off lipids in the bloodstream?

[@jomjohny]

Here we goooo== Mark of the beast

[@neilpatton7174]

Jomon Johny as in grey goo? I see what you did there;)

[@TokenBlackman7]

Nanomachines, son!

[@undertow2142]

Put those platinum layers in a suit and have super strength.

[@123melody]

Ok now I'm paranoid and feel there are tiny robots around me...

[@nothingbutthetruth3227]

Lan Anh Tran Ngoc try in you. Now.

[@AmyDentata]

TED was filmed in front of a live studio audience

[@tiosam1426]

good to see, you notification

[@mordorofmntdoom2295]

So, what's to stop them from being used against mankind? There is just too much evil for it to be used for good.

[@enegm3749]

[@pls.protect.free.speechuns5528]

Robots inside robots inside robots. Life 2.0.

[@akash.205]

Great...

[@bigblockchevy427]

My question is, how would the human body's immune system react to tiny robots in the system?

[@nothingbutthetruth3227]

I'm in semiconductors.... The his is amazing

[@sunshinebreeze1]

This is not the answer to our Huna. Dilemma. We need to expand human potential robotic. Its like giving toys to 3 year olds. The human needs to master itself first!!

[@tuandang7352]

How tiny is the robot?

Humanity’s downfall

[@mrmike2119]

I seriously fear artificial intelligence ultimately taking over. Glad I know how to grow food naturally when the global electronic grid fails. True, technology is interesting, but playing God is not acceptably to me. Sorry guys.

[@tomasotreasaigh111]

It is unacceptably for sure, lol.

[@juragansupian611]

Good bless 🤝 AI Afiliasi intelegensi to omega the world 🌍🌎🌏👍

[@ajcarpy2005]

Cool but doesn't seem very practical. In the bloodstream swimming would be better than walking in my opinion.

[@emmanueloluga9770]

Both require and use MOTION

[@neilpatton7174]

While the lithography has progressed along Moore’s Law, the premise here hasn’t changed since Drexler’s “Engines of Creation”. Also, instead of plagiarizing the semiconductor industry to build bottom up, why not adapt what nature has provided after billions of years of R&D?

[@nolan412]

First you need microbot fingers.

[@jhunt5578]

Meesed up cutting the mouse's skull off.

[@Kaydin66]

does that guy not have eyebrows?

[@Gala_]

"Nature can do it. Why can't we?" Oh yeah, we a so brilliant that can perfectly and in short terms do the things that nature had been working for thousands of years! Ridiculously and too arrogantly Can you at least suppose for a tiny moment that there is probably no need to do this? Or you want to earn the fame anyway, despite all the possible negative effects of your actions? Isn't there other vital issues to solve in modern world?

[@ZwergDesign]

It seems like you are not able to grasp the significance of research like this. This might be able to cure many diseases, save lifes and also take care of our food. These are some of the MOST vital issues we need to solve as a human species.

[@udaykadam5455]

We are also an output of that thousands of years of process. We are as natural as we can be, we are a way for universe to see itself, discover itself. So things we do and choices we make is indirectly a natural selection process but instead of it being random selection process which could've killed us all without hesitation,we choose to take control. Corona is showing us we should be ready for more intense pandemic situations , Nature can't be labelled as cruel but it doesn't care about life and poses danger (look thousands of planets that doesn't support life) and life is all about survival and we are getting ready for it. And if people like these don't distribute this knowledge with public then government will be the only one with power.

[@WildHorseProductions]

This is so cool, until: 1. Humans began its application as micro weapons. 2. Skynet takes control and/or kill every living things, CELL by CELL. Bravo to y'all😎

Whatabout when skynet goes online. We dead.
