Bio-Inspiration: Nature as Muse | KQED QUEST

For hundreds of years, scientists have been poaching design ideas from structures in nature. Now, biologists and engineers at UC Berkeley are working together to design a broad range of new products, such as life-saving milli-robots modeled on the way cockroaches run and adhesives based on the amazing design of a geckos foot. KQED's QUEST visits their labs to find out what's so special about these crawling and scaling animals.
