In Animal I.T. we explore the world of animal senses and animal intelligence. We may think we’re the smartest creatures on earth but animals often see and hear far more than we can. Their senses are more finely tuned and their responses much faster. Human roboticists are now turning to animal tech for inspiration in building the next generation of artificially intelligent machines.
Animal Engineers explores the design principles that the natural world has been built on and looks at the intentional and unintentional parallels in the human world. We’re just beginning to see the vast untapped reservoir of animal inventions and engineering solutions nature has to offer us—like super-strong animal shaped and inspired buildings; lightweight space stations from beetle wings and micro air vehicles inspired by flies.
Animal Magicians reveals some of nature’s most powerful secrets from medical solutions for cancer and diabetes to finding the answers to the most vexing of questions, such as how can humans live longer, love longer and live in outer space?
