These are unique animals that can inspire a human
FLY - The fly's eyes Inspiring Motion Detector Camera
Have you ever thought that the Motion Detector Camera was inspired by the flies which frequent and annoying sounds when they are flying. Animals that have a habitat in dirty places, like the trash it was useful, although these animals are very friendly with dirt, but they have eyes that can be inspired scientists to create a motion detector camera. The camera can detect the motion of an object and the camera moves to follow the direction of movement of the object.
Catch a fly and put it under a microscope. Eye structure became the inspiration for scientists to develop a Motion Detector Video Camera, the target detector system for military equipment, and radar.
Therefore, the eyes of a fly known to be able to see the movement of' the object is clearly among the other objects in the vicinity. This can be done because these insects can bring together a picture of an object to obtain different lighting levels. Conventional cameras generally only rely on a single level of illumination.
For example, see the movement of someone in the grove of trees. With eyes focused around the motion, fly's eye can see the movement of objects in their entirety.
Apparently a lot of little things like this that we do not know, is not it? Whereas the effect of small things that can impact both for the development of human needs, both in the field of technology, science and so on.
COCKROACHES - Cockroach legs be an inspiration to make a robot that can run fast
Most people might think that the cockroach is the most disgusting insects in the world. But did you know? The scientists were amazed at this insect.
They agreed that the cockroach has evolved a unique foot. Six feet of cockroaches making them able to move wonderfully and run fast.
This is why the scientists at Oregon State University (OSU) using the cockroach as a source of inspiration for the first robot in the world that can run fast. This robot is even touted to run easily through obstacles, just like the way cockroaches run.
As quoted by Daily Science, Thursday (31/12/2009), Scientists do not just want to mimic the ability of the run alone, the behavior of cockroaches that without thinking, but in the spirit of running to and fro was became the inspiration of experts to instill the same capabilities on their robot.
"The latest discovery underscores how animals use the feet to control the storage and energy expenditure, and why it is so important for the stability of running," said assistant professor John Schmitt of the School of Mechanical Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at OSU.
"Cockroaches do not have to think as they ran, instead they are more likely to use the muscle action that does not require reflex control," he added.
Schmitt explained that this ability is part of being sought by scientists in order to have on a robot. With this capability, the robot can move faster without spending a great energy and account for the strength they need.
"If we can develop a robot that run fast, the robot will not require too much computing power and energy to be able to run," said Schmidtt.
MANTIS SHRIMP - Mantis shrimp's eyes inspired the creation of 3D technology
Nowadays we often hear a three-dimensional or 3D. What do you imagine when hearing that word? Perhaps 3D movies, 3D TV, 3D phones, 3D gaming or other devices with 3D technology at home or around you. Actually what is the definition of the 3D? The dictionary says a 3D (three -dimensional) is a form of object that has length, width and height. To display the 3D effect on an object is an image / movie will be seen to have the depth and the difference between a space object with another object. 3D technology enables viewers to watch television shows or movies are more real. Dimensions are presented to viewers as if it were at the same time the object is seen. Terrific ...
Did you know that 3D technology was inspired by a small animal called the mantis shrimp. Mantis shrimp (Odontodactylus scyllarus) did not only has an impressive display, but also blessed with the ability to 'capture' the polarized light is became the basis the development of 3D technology. If humans can only see with a combination of three primary colors, the mantis shrimp's eyes can distinguish the 11-12 combination of primary colors. In addition, the mantis shrimp also have the ability to to look directly the light of different colors of light polarization.
This inspiring an Electro-Optical Professor of National Taipei University of Technology, named Jen Yi-jun to develop new materials with similar structure of the mantis shrimp eye lens called waveplate. According to Jen, the material can be used to filter light with a wider spectrum of optical devices on a DVD player available today. With this innovation, movie fans will be able to watch 3D movies with better quality. In the future, this technology can also be used to develop 3D glasses so that users can get a better visual experience. It was a great shrimp could inspiring a remarkable technology that is the current trend.
DOLPHINS - Dolphin sonar inspired the creation of a submarine radar
Dolphins have a system that is used to communicate and receive excitatory called sonar system, the system can avoid objects in front of the dolphin, so avoid the collision. The technology is then applied in making submarine radar. The dolphins are mammals. They live in oceans and rivers around the world. The dolphins are whales and dolphins relatives. There are over 40 types of dolphins.
The dolphins are highly intelligent ocean mammals, other than the natural systems that complement the body is very complex. So much technology that is inspired by dolphins. One example is the skin of dolphins that could minimize friction with the water, so the dolphins can swim with a little water resistance. It is used by swimmers to design swimsuits that resemble the skin of dolphins.
