Space Robot Revolution: Exploring the Cosmos with AI-Powered Robots | FD Engineering

Watch 'Advances in Space Technology - Complete Series' here: https://youtu.be/68PlPkeOwng

Robotics is everywhere, and humans have already been working closely with robots, if not replaced by them. But today, robots are clearly key actors in the future conquest of the space. While some androids have already been sent into space, other finer prototypes will soon join or replace them.

In a thrilling inquiry from the US to Russia, via Europe and Asia, this film will illustrate how far the development of artificial intelligence has gone in this particular field. What do space robots look like? Why and how can they lead space missions successfully? To what extent will they collaborate with astronauts or take their place?

Bridges That Defined Modern Engineering | Mega Bridges | FD Engineering

Steel Giants - Pushing the Limits of Bridge Design: https://youtu.be/HbCroBjFZEg

Amidst WW2, battles were fought and won for bridges. Key to strategic maneuvering across the land, historic structures often targeted to acquire or destroy during wartime.

Whether arch, beam or suspension bridge: For thousands of years, people have been building connections for pedestrians, cars or trains over natural obstacles such as water or gorges. In the past it was simple stone buildings, today gigantic steel structures like the Örsesund Bridge are created to connect Denmark with Sweden. In each episode one of these modern buildings is presented.

From Paper to Bionics: Origami's Incredible Impact on Science | The Origami Code | FD Engineering

Watch 'Technologies of the Coming Century' here: https://youtu.be/rAYRLxb1le0

In Japan, every pupil learns origami: a square sheet of paper is shaped into a frog or a lotus flower. No cuts, no glue – just folds. But in the last twenty years, this ancient art of folding has gone through a high-speed evolution with an impact in almost every corner of our society.

At first for fun, mathematicians and computer scientists embraced this field and produced sophisticated, seemingly impossible models. A black forest cuckoo or the Paris cathedral – all made from just one sheet of paper. These origami freaks eventually discovered that with origami they could fold anything, create any 3D object, providing the sheet of paper was large enough. Looking at these developments, biologists wondered whether origami wouldn’t be in fact an attempt to imitate nature. And indeed, everything that develops and changes in nature is folded: mountains, blossoms, the brain… Life is an unending series of folding and unfolding. It’s the most economical and efficient process in the natural world. And it is not only design. Folding determines also function.

Today researchers in robotics, medicine, biology, nanotechnologies, are embracing this “origami philosophy”. They are looking at how materials and molecules wrinkle, drape, flex and crease, refining origami techniques, and trying better to understand and duplicate nature’s universal folding principles. The Origami Code explores this silent deciphering and mastering of a completely new dimension of reality. The film explores how the ancient art of folding paper has entered the cutting-edge domains of research and now could lead the way to the ultimate stage in bionics.

Reviving Giants: The Engineering Upgrades That Keep Bridges Alive | Mega Bridges | FD Engineering

Bridges of the Future - Engineering Beyond Tradition: https://youtu.be/J9_2o8W_3LI

It is difficult enough to design a bridge that will remain aesthetically relevant for a hundred and twenty-odd years. Let alone one that maintains its resilience. Advanced understanding of environmental factors and impact prevention sees many historic structures retrofit or updated to stay relevant.

Whether arch, beam or suspension bridge: For thousands of years, people have been building connections for pedestrians, cars or trains over natural obstacles such as water or gorges. In the past it was simple stone buildings, today gigantic steel structures like the Örsesund Bridge are created to connect Denmark with Sweden. In each episode one of these modern buildings is presented.

Rare Earth Mining: The Key to our Technological Future | FD Engineering

Watch 'Mega Machines: Taming Mechanical Giants' here: https://youtu.be/VcU0umWyfvk

For thousands of years, they lay dormant in the soil until suddenly, they became the driving force behind a technical revolution. Smart phones, laptops, touch screens, wind turbines, hybrid vehicles: they all need rare earth materials.

Among the first to recognize this were the Chinese. Today China mines an incredible 97% of all rare earth minerals extracted worldwide. The Chinese government makes good use of this monopoly: recently, it cut production by about two-thirds. Within days the prices of some rare earth metals shot up by 1000%. However, the Chinese also have to deal with the downside of rare earth mining: Environmental pollution, destroyed landscapes and radioactive residues, as rare earth metal deposits are usually laced with radioactive minerals and are extremely difficult to refine.

Because of the scarcity of rare earth deposits, the sky-rocketing prices on the international commodity market and the environmental problems associated with mining and processing, scientists around the world are looking for new, better ways to source these minerals. We follow researchers as they drill for new deposits in Europe and Australia, we see how they try and find new, more environmentally friendly ways of processing the materials, we discover how they try and recycle them out of old mobile phones and computers – and we reveal how physicists and chemists are working on ground-breaking new materials that could soon replace rare earths completely – a fascinating glimpse at cutting-edge research that could make our green technologies of the future even greener.

Watch 'Extreme Constructions - Complete Series' here: https://youtu.be/XKndrP5zT-c

Huge tools make possible in a few days or hours what used to take hundreds of workers weeks or months.

They operate Germany's largest and strongest machines. With courage and sure instinct, they control machines weighing tons with millimetre precision. What do the men have to bring along if they want to operate Germany's largest machines safely and how are such mega-aggregates manufactured? The German mechanical engineering industry is world-famous. Men & Machines shows why. Get a glimpse into the production halls of these machines and see engineering at its best.

00:00 Mole of Steel
We visit the construction site of the Albvorlandtunnel between Stuttgart and Ulm in Germany, where two huge tunnel drilling machines are used.

00:46:08 Mobile Monster Cranes
Without the one-armed giants, nothing works on major construction sites. We take a look at cranes. With a 100 metre long telescopic boom and a maximum load capacity of 1200 tonnes, the nine-axle LTM 11200-9.1 is particularly suitable for the construction of wind turbines.
