[NYP] Robotics: natural efficiencies (Adrian Thomas)

Through natural selection, animals have evolved exquisite adaptations for highly efficient movement through the air, in water and across the ground. Careful analyses of the adaptations of flying, swimming and walking animals are beginning to deliver substantial improvements in the efficiency of a new generation of robotic vehicles. Join zoologist and inventor Adrian Thomas as he showcases his work mimicking nature, from a drone that's inspired by a dragonfly to a boat with a fin rather than a propeller.
