German automation company Festo is at it again. Its latest robots -- an autonomous bionic arm and a flying robot bird -- are here, and they're awesome.
German electrical automation company Festo has good form for pushing the envelope in robot development, previously showing off bio-inspired bot versions of ants, a kangaroo, flying penguins and ...
Researchers at Festo have announced the creation of a new bionic project called the "BionicSwift." The robotic bird can fly using artificial feathers. The researchers used radio-based indoor GPS ...
German engineering firm Festo has created a robot bird that really flies.
Nine years ago, Festo revealed a robotic seagull with wings that could bend and flap like the wings on the real-life terrors of the beach. The robotic bird was able to stay aloft by simply ...
Festo already has a flying bird robot — I wrote about it almost 10 years ago. They even made a flying bat as a follow-up.
About a year ago, Festo, a company whose nature-inspired robots are as impressive as Boston Dynamics’ creations, blew our minds with a robotic flying bird that used feather wings to perform ...
Festo, a German robotics company, creates robots inspired by animals. Their bionic butterflies fly with grace using tiny motors, cameras, and real-time tracking. Robotic ants work in swarms ...
A robot bird that can walk, hop, leap and jump for take-off into flight has been designed in an engineering breakthrough that could transform future airflight ...
For example, Festo, a Germany-based multinational industrial control and automation company, has previously created a flock of bionic birds with nature-inspired wings.
German engineering firm Festo has developed a robotic seagull that’s so lifelike it appeared to fool real birds into thinking that it was part of the flock.
Created by Festo, the BionicSwift is a flying robot that can autonomously move in coordinated groups of five. The robot weighs only 42 grams and can fly uninterrupted for up to seven minutes using ...
