S1 Ep 6 - Sticky Tech
22m
One of the first instances of bio-inspiration was Velcro influenced by the sticky burrs of the burdock plant. In this episode, host Danni Washington takes a fascinating and fun look at Velcro and other ways inventors have “stuck” with nature including robots that can scale walls or pick-up any object thanks to bugs and chameleons, suction cups inspired by one sucky fish, and an innovation based on the holy-grail of all adhesively-inclined animals… the gecko!
