i think universities look at the fabrication of a new beetle pavillion is entering its decisive face. according to a preprogramed classic case the potato beetle design a robot which winds to cross copper pipes on to a steep price. an engineer always keeps one finger on the emergency stop in case of threat slips off the robot produces a rat s nest of fire. when construction stronger steel movie bridge leaving only the harder. they will fall all together most of the bricks. the glass uncommon fine at the back below the belt. as a protection against right not much plexiglass cut the top. song
colorado potato beetle and wouldn t. actually mangas is a professor of architecture and computer aided design at the university took us in germany. by studying insects he wants to discover a new design principles to create innovative structures. thomas fi of the colorado potato beetle because it can cause serious crop damage. it also has a very hard shell. it s striking yellow and black when cases protect the sensitive hind legs which it uses to find. the wing cases must be both tough and light otherwise the beetle couldn t fly the architect is interested in the structure of these cases. they re not often one for guns on the in nature we find totally different construction pressures to destroy those found in the history of engine or
the x. ray images shows the case of the potato beetle consists of 2 separate shells. that is hollow in such. an under 3. an extremely lightweight structure that cutting its mark the binds over that it was all conservative and is a sword small columns connect the upper and lower house of the way up a shoddy between themselves and a large cavity ascends can all of us business design less than to see it as the bright spots will show the places where the 2 shells are connected. to one of them on my skin. and it s on the seen on those also. the one case of the potato beetle consists of closely into one of them find. the architect is especially interested in the columns between the 2 shops which of poems by pick bundles of mine. to transfer the forces between the up one on the
lower shelf. from these columns the find the spread out in many different directions this network of mine makes the structure of our lives at stake. i think a symptom of mine and i think there are the one ahead we marvel at what nature is for you that some of the other hand will wonder why this idea has evolved as an engineering swore an oath to tell and thirdly we realize that this is this is about evolution that we can call the relatively easily and methods on this it s this on this is what makes it so exciting would absorb it all just lots of them so fond. of him angus wants to use the beetle wings designed as the basis for a new structure. just like the wing case of the potato beetle the structure must be lightened state. however the architect is now how to design the load bearing components. the beetle has not yet read. feel the exact arrangements of the
