The application of nature to applied technology extends capabilities in ways only imagined previously in rather wild fiction.

This is an excellent presentation of ideas that not only have important space research and military applications, but we may have to get used to the idea of search and rescue squads of mechanical dogs – now that is an interesting idea.

With mechanically shaped algorithms inherent in design, and the role of AI being more independent, the subconscious tendency of robotics to cope with their wobbling walk, their calculations are now involved in self image, we could be at the edge of something we may not notice. This seems more significant than it seems at first glance, but that is nonetheless worth your careful consideration.
