TED Talks - Gecko Science and Robotics This TED video talks about how geckos are able to climb walls, and looks at their physiology and various adaptations with regards to its feet, and tail for use with maneuvering in extreme circumstances. It also briefly shows and discusses how some of these things are being applied to new technologies. Its a bit long at 12 minutes, but this video had some rather fascinating footage of what gives geckos this special ability of theirs, and how they use it. It also shows off some attempts to emulate this behavior which could be applied to a whole range of uses. Some of the things seen in the video of some new devices including robotics, and wall climbing technologies, as well as footage of geckos flying and maneuvering in the air. The video covers a bunch of different topics with a centralized idea that we can learn a lot from natural design, but ultimately, that we can and should build upon doing so.
