Hi, guys, Ayshah here. First up, Britain's Paralympic | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
curling team have made it to the semifinals. The team got through to | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
the final four despite losing their latest match to China, after other | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
results went their way. Next, you'll probably remember | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
seeing this car on Newsround when we told you about the floods in | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
Somerset earlier this year. Well, the vehicle has now been reunited | :00:26. | :00:35. | |
with its owner. Footage of the car was seen around the world, and even | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
the Prince of Wales passed it on a boat. All right, let's have a look. | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
Amazing. It smells. It's unbelievably disgusting in there. I | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
wasn't expecting my car to be on telly and then eventually to be on | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
international news and the newspapers. | :00:51. | :00:51. | |
All this week on Newsround, we've been showing you the ground-breaking | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
technology behind the next wave of robots. Well, now researchers are | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
developing machines based on some of the smallest and fastest creatures | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
on planet earth. Ricky went to meet the scientists who are creating | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
robots by looking very closely at these - ants! | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
(MUSIC). We've entered this new and exciting | :01:10. | :01:20. | |
phase in robotics where the technology is taking inspiration | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
from nature around us and us humans, too. We're now trying to make robots | :01:25. | :01:36. | |
that will work in the real world, which is a kind of messy, untidy | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
place. The world is full of amazing animals, amazing creatures, who get | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
on perfectly well in the real world. They provide us not only with | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
inspiration but fantastic designs. Tell us about the Swarm and how | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
those robots operate. It's meant to behave like an ant. The collection | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
of robots, so the entire colony of robots, is designed to model the way | :02:00. | :02:09. | |
ants forage for food. Some scientists argue that there isn't | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
much point in basing a robot on a human being, because we're far too | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
complex. So they turned their attention to robots inspired by | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
biology, things like ants, a grasshopoper and even a flea. There | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
are plenty of people still interested in robots that look and | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
behave like people, but many of us realise that most robots that we | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
really need in the real world don't need to look like people and it's | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
probably best if they don't. Finally, Alan Shearer and Robbie | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
Savage are nearing the end of their Sport Relief challenge. The pair are | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
trying to be the first to sit on half the seats in Wembley Stadium. | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
That's 45,000 seats each. They have until tomorrow to finish. | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
That's it for now. | :02:59. | :03:00. |
