I am quite certain that, as a civilization, we have reached our peak. After watching these bionic penguins swim (and fly!!) it is all too obvious that humans are totally inadequate with our cumbersome, fleshy bodies. For evolution to continue, we must accept the bionic penguins as our new, sexy overlords.
Flying Robot Penguins? Amazing!
There are so many neat technological achievements incorporated into the bionic penguin.
First, there’s the penguin’s body itself, made of carefully aligned fibre glass rods. In penguin form, it allows for quick turns and a svelte frame. The design has also been used to create an exremely flexible bionic arm. It has current use in industrial production, but I see it as a potential replacement limb. Granted, a lot more development needs to go into research and design. I’m not going to let them put a penguin on my arm. Then again, when I put it like that…
Next, there’s the cool 3D sonar technology that allows the penguins to swim (and fly!!) around in three dimensions without crashing into shit. This is a pretty advanced technology that increases robot mobility by a huge margin. Modification of this technology could eventually lead to robots that can move around on their own, walk through a city without being hit by a bus, etc.
There be dubloons in these here waters, but only the cursed kind. We don’t want none of you bilge rats waking up with a mouthful of scurvy, so listen up.
Okay, I tricked you. This blog is totally not about pirates (except when it is).
Cool science, weird science, hot science. It’s here. Basically, I’m going to write whatever I like about whatever I think is the coolest. Why am I the arbiter of cool? Well, that’s why I’m a scientist and you’re not. Coolologist. Hip Doctor. Whatever you want to call me, I’m game for it.
