Hi guys, Ricky here this Friday morning with | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
everything you need to know about these kilobots on the way. | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
And why this celebration cost this athlete a gold medal. | :00:09. | :00:18. | |
But first the Premier League says it's cracking down on fans who film | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
footy highlights on their phones and upload them online. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
With a day to go till the start of the season league bosses are | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
warning people that sharing clips from live matches, or footage | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
Loads of clips were shared on social media during the World Cup | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
It is just over 24 hours till that Premier League season starts. | :00:40. | :01:05. | |
So far, over 16,500 games have been played. | :01:06. | :01:28. | |
22,704 goals have been scored, that's nearly 1000 goals per season. | :01:29. | :01:37. | |
Chelsea, Man United, Man City, Arsenal and Blackburn. | :01:38. | :01:49. | |
There'll be a new ball, guaranteed goals. | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Plus, new players, new managers and new look teams. | :01:54. | :02:03. | |
Last year's champions, Man City, will be aiming to secure | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
their first ever consecutive Premier League title. | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool have spent a combined total of over ?120 | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
million, that means superstars such as Alexis Sanchez, Cesc Fabregas | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
and Diego Costa will be coming to a ground near you soon. | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
And don't forget about the newly promoted teams, Leicester, | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
If you thought last season was exciting, | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
Be prepared for the sackings, skills, heartbreak, | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
Next to the swarm of a thousand robots created | :02:41. | :02:49. | |
Robotics experts at Harvard University studied the way | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
animals and insect work together as a group and used this as inspiration | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
to design a troop of mini-bots that move and communicate together. | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
This swarm of robots can form different shapes without humans | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
In the animal kingdom, insects, birds and fish work as part | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
of a team to find food and protect each other. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
These robots have been designed to do the same. | :03:18. | :03:19. | |
They interact with each other to form these patterns. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
Each kilobot, as they're called, is the size of a penny. | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
To create something like this, four lead robots are placed where | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
The other robots communicate with these leaders to find | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
They can sense each other to avoid colliding, just like animals do. | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
These robots could one day be sent into dangerous situations | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
like a natural disaster, searching for survivors, | :03:46. | :03:47. | |
or much further into space, looking for life on another planet. | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
With me now is Dr Gavin Brown, a robotics expert. | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
Thank you for joining us this morning. They look really | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
interesting, but what can they actually be used for? There are 1000 | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
possible uses, one of the most exciting things would be to send | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
them into places that are too dangerous for humans to get to. For | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
examples, earthquakes, you could find a thousand there, or you could | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
send them to the moon and they could build objects for us but we might | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
need when we are up there. And they are quite cheap to produce? They | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
are, each one of those little robot is 10p piece sized, costs five or ?6 | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
to make it can be made in five minutes. Why are we taking | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
inspiration from animals? Animals have evolved how to do things we | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
cannot do yet, house flies can flap their fight -- wings 2000 times a | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
second and are more manoeuvring to the fighter jet. There are | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
universities all over the UK doing similar things, we are competing | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
with the Americans! You can see more about those robots | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
on our website and that's also where we want you to let us know how you | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
got your name this morning. It's all because the list | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
of the top 10 boys' and girls' names So get in touch and tell us who | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
or what you're named after. To sport and a big controversy at | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
the European Athletics Championships France's Mekhissi-Benabbad easily | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
won the 3000 metre steeplechase race but took his vest | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
off to celebrate in the last few Spain then complained that that was | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
against the rules and so he was disqualified | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
and stripped of the gold medal. That's it but join me | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
at 8.55am to see the footy match disrupted by cows | :05:42. | :05:43. | |
and find out which Premier League Get to the website and tell us how | :05:44. | :05:57. | |
you got that name, I will see you later. | :05:58. | :05:59. |
