Robots are built for all kinds of things, and these days, their inventors are looking toward nature to see how animals can help them to do the things that humans can’t. Join Danni Washington as she checks out tiny robots based on manta rays that are helping to fight heart problems, robots that are learning to run as fast as the speediest animals, and giant snake-like robots that are drawing attention to climate change. Part of the "Nature Knows Best" series.
