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.
