1.I want you to imagine that youre a student in my lab. 想象一下你是我实验室里的一个学生。2.What I want you to do is to create a biologically-inspired design. 我想让你做一个由生物激发灵感的设计。3.And so heres the challenge: I want you to help me create a fully 3D, dynamic, parameterized contact model. 挑战是这样的： 我想让你帮我制造出一个全3D、参数化的动力接触模型。4.The translation of that is, could you help me build a foot? 翻译一下，意思就是能不能帮我造一只脚？5.And it is a true challenge, and I do want you to help me. 这件事真的很有挑战，我确实需要你们的帮助。6.Of course, in the challenge there is a prize. 当然，这是有奖励的。7.Its not quite the TED Prize, but it is an exclusive t-shirt from our lab. 不太算是TED奖品，但是我们实验室的特别版T恤。8.So please send me your ideas about how to design a foot. 所以请将你们关于如何设计一只脚的想法发个我。9.Now if we want to design a foot, what do we have to do? 好，如果我们想设计一只脚，需要做什么呢？10.We have to first know what a foot is. 首先我们需要知道脚是什么。11.If we go to the dictionary, it says, Its the lower extremity of a leg that is in direct contact with the ground in standing or walking 如果我们去查字典，字典上说：“脚是在站立及行走时， 腿的最末端直接接触地面的部位。”12.Thats the traditional definition. 这是传统的定义。13.But if you wanted to really do research, what do you have to do? 但如果你真的想要做研究，还要做什么呢？14.You have to go to the literature and look up whats known about feet. 你必须还要去翻阅文献，看关于脚人们都知道了些什么。15.So you go to the literature. (Laughter) Maybe youre familiar with this literature. 所以你去查阅了文献。（笑） 也许你对这些作品很熟悉。16.The problem is, there are many, many feet. 问题是，这里有很多很多只脚。17.How do you do this? 该怎么办呢？18.You need to survey all feet and extract principles of how they work. 你需要去调查这所有的脚，并且从中提炼出它们是如何工作的理论。19.And I want you to help me do that in this next clip. 在下一张图上，我就想让你来帮我做这件事。20.As you see this clip, look for principles, and also think about experiments that you might design in order to understand how a foot works. 当你看这张图时，请寻找理论。 而且考虑你要设计什么样的实验 才能帮助你明白这些脚是如何工作的。21.See any common themes? Principles? 看到有什么共同点了吗？共同的原理？22.What would you do? 你接下来要怎么做？23.What exper
