Leon Battista Alberti summed up the ideals of the Renaissance and the notion of the Renaissance man with the phrase, “A man can do all things if he but wills them.”
But, since the Renaissance knowledge has become extremely specialized, and the idea of becoming a Da-Vinci-like dominant force in multiple endeavors is seemingly impossible.
The ideals of the Renaissance are being reformulated so that ability to combine different disciplines and achieve creative solutions exists not in an individual but within the collective knowledge and dynamics of a group.
Biologist Robert Full shares how the disciplines of biology and robotics can be combined to create robots that move in ingenious ways.
