0:00.0	I. D. the Future, a podcast about evolution and intelligent design.
0:12.0	Welcome to I. The Future. I'm your host Brian Miller. Today my guest is Stuart Burgess.
0:18.0	Dr Burgess is emeritus professor of engineering design at Bristol University,
0:23.0	and an adjunct professor at Liberty University.
0:26.0	He has published over 200 scientific papers
0:28.5	on engineering design and biomechanics.
0:31.0	He has led the design of the Chain Drive for the British Olympic
0:34.3	cycling team for the last three Olympics and exhibited his work at the Royal
0:38.1	Society in London. He has received many academic awards including the Iamecae-Kle-Kle-Klaidan prize in 2019, a top mechanical
0:47.2	engineering prize in the UK, the Turner's Gold Medal for Spacecraft Design, a Design Council Prize presented at the UK Minister of State
0:56.6	for Trade and Industry, and the Wessex Scientific Medal for Work on Biomimetics.
1:01.8	Today we will be discussing his recently published paper
1:05.0	in the journal Biomimetics, which is titled
1:08.0	How Multifunctioning Joints
1:09.5	produce highly agile limbs in animals with lessons for robotics. In this article he
1:15.6	further demonstrates the genius of the design behind animal limbs. So Dr
1:20.4	Burgess, thank you for joining us.
1:22.7	Yeah, it's very good to be here.
1:23.7	Thank you.
1:25.4	Well, I'm gonna, we'll just have a nice discussion
1:28.3	about your paper.
1:29.2	And I want to begin by asking you, what do you mean by multifunctioning because the point of your
