gecko pads and if you look at, like, the ends of tarantula's feet, you know, the hairs that they have? that's how a spider is able to climb the wall. we've not quite tested this, but if you were to put one on your head, it would have the force required to crush your skull. oh, good! which is lovely, isn't it? well, if you're going to make an asteroid—climbing robot, make a killer asteroid—climbing robot. but, really, is this the way to solve our resource problem? after all, it's all a fair way off yet. as well as designing the rest of the robot, with help of tohoko university inj...

In space, micrometeorites hit the structure at 8 kilometres a second, so we want to make it safer for astronauts, so we are using graphene, which is 200 times stronger than steel. this is the model we are working on. shown here as a sheet or a powder, graphene also reduces the need for bulky insulation, with space temperatures ranging from a sunny 120 degrees to a cool —170. on a single layer of graphene around the structure can dissipate the heat from hot to cold side. astronauts can have more space within the habitat, wspecially when they are living there for months or years, they need as ...

And you only need one atom to get those benefits? we only need one atom. it's a magic material. mini models have been 3d printed in plastic, but a large—scale model is being woven out of graphene—coated carbon fibre. this is a 3k carbon fibre, it's very thin, as you can see. it is really kind of precise, fine movements. this side will be very weak, so we can put many different directions of fibre. and that increases the strength of the final material? that's correct. this collaborative robot is designed to improve efficiency and safety. if you hold something here, the motion is stopped. ai...

On the moon, and mars. in space, micro—meteorites hit the structure at eight kilometres a second. so we want to make it safer for astronauts. so we are using graphene, which is 200 times stronger than steel. this is the model we are working on. shown here as a sheet or a powder, graphene also reduces the need for bulky insulation, with space temperatures ranging from sunny 120 degrees to a cool —i70. on a single layer of graphene around the structure can dissipate the heat from hot to cold side. astronauts can have more space within the habitat — especially when they are living there for...
