Robert Full: The secrets of nature's grossest creatures, channeled into robots. 

This is SO ingenious! I don't like cockroaches and I generally feel very apprehensive about robots, but after watching this video I noticed this strange appreciation of both. Robert Full took the worst part of cockroaches- their INdestructibility and was not only able to redeem those qualities to somewhat tolerable levels. he actually turned them around to something we might want to have. He's like a modern day magician/alchemist!
While each of the behaviors referenced in the video were uncomfortable to watch in cockroach form, they were amazing when robots were doing them.

I liked this talk so much, that I searched for his other works.  The expectations were high and the following videos, they did not disappoint!  :)
