Engineering360: "Shrinking, Expanding Robots"

What an inspirational post of basic innovation research that will result in applications not yet perceived and provide technological building blocks that will integrate or continue the convergence of tools and techniques, such as sliding, slithering and crawling sensors and actuators in the development of autonomous equipment. Thankyou for your hard work that brought you all to this level of excellence. Naturally, technologists today have to break out of a technological elite to become leaders of socio-technical change and global realisation of new technological forms where the sharing of global intelligence outweighs the search for local low cost. Let's hope one outcome of this innovation is mini- and micro-machines that obviate the retirement of our big, clumsy machines of today. Lower CO2 outcomes, too. Regards to you all again.
