Dinosaurs died out more than 65 million years ago, but there are creatures we can really know about how they moved and lived. But building a robot dinosaurs may help to unlock the secrets hidden in fossils.
This tiny robot versions of long extinct dinosaurs might answer some of the most baffling and elusive questions about the living habitats of dinosaurs like how exactly they moved about and how they interacted with their environment.We have to expect that they can't show accurately this robot once it reflect the the Triceratops.
The initial entreaty was to see if he had a way to reproduce the bones, and then I saw all his research. They started talking about robotizing these dinosaurs and I also started working and all of a sudden it kind of opened up this whole new world that it's not just a method to reproduce the bone.
This might call experimental paleontology and archaeology has a fairly well-developed experimental track, but I haven't heard of this sort of thing in paleontology.
There are other paleontologists doing what you might call experimental paleontology. But it's still a limited but growing area in the field. I've seen computer models of how sauropods walk, I've seen some computer simulations of how bones are put together, but it's still an area that's just starting. For the most part, paleontology is still the same way now that it was 150 years ago.
But the fact that People were still guessing what the kinematics of a dinosaur. With the help of biorobotic models, both robotic models and numeric models. The bony structures and start predicting what the motions would have been and have some understanding of how the features of the bones contributed to different movements.
In terms of numerically, meaning, in a simulation. We have simulation software that we use when we're analyzing the kinematics and mechanics of human bones, how they move. And we can affect different properties and see the end result. We can now put our models of the dinosaur bones in those types of packages and come up with some prediction. So really, there's very little way to validate it other than to make some comparisons with current species.
There is no assurance that the robots they're creating are accurate reflections of the original dinosaur's movement and biomechanics. The point is with a lot of the robotic systems that been developed nowadays, we have a species that we can compare to and, depending on the type of species that we're working on, there are ways in which we can validate. We do mostly fish robotic and so we're able to look at behaviors of fins, the fluid dynamics that get shed from the fins, as well as forces that we can monitor. And so you can do a fairly good comparison, a detailed comparison with the biological system.
The importance of determining their muscular-skeletal system is to identify a muscle, some of the muscle properties might come from compliant or restrictive sheathes that serve on the muscles, so we may have to actually be manipulating properties that do appear visual. The skin structure concern to be followed once the r environmental tests of the robotic systems been carried out.
