01:42:57 Bernardo Martinez: If you ever want to get a good source for mechanisms, you should visit this youtube channel
01:42:58 Bernardo Martinez: https://www.youtube.com/@thang010146
01:43:27 Bernardo Martinez: It’s a retired mechanical engineer that just loves making models in Autodesk Inventor and publishing them for reference
01:43:36 James Newton: Mechanical Computing! Very overlooked
01:43:45 Steven Kaehler: Creepy robot
01:44:05 James Newton: Reacted to “https://www.youtub…” with ❤️
01:45:16 James Newton: The footage of SmartBird looks like it’s slowed down? But I think based on the people moving in some shots that it really does flap that slow.
01:57:58 Bernardo Martinez: This arm has been definitely hitting the gym. It looks very muscular
01:59:03 Steven Kaehler: Enjoy your future tiny humans… you get to take a nap at your desk as your robot overlord takes a recharge.
01:59:17 James Newton: Reacted to “Enjoy your future …” with 😂
01:59:44 Bernardo Martinez: Reacted to “Enjoy your future ti…” with 😂
02:00:31 James Newton: Note the skin of the ants are flexible PCBs with SMT components soldered in place.
02:01:06 James Newton: A few people have managed to make robots using PCB (flex or solid) and I think it’s a really really interesting idea. Soldering the edges to make a 3D structure.
02:01:30 Steven Kaehler: 300V! Wow.
02:01:52 James Newton: Piezo actuators are another one that I think is really interesting. Not sure why we aren’t doing more with those.
02:02:04 James Newton: Maybe because they need 300 volts?
02:04:10 James Newton: That’s not creepy at all…
02:12:56 Paul W: Probably brought to you in large part by the German taxpayer.
