Bionic Flying Fox festo is a German manufacturer of industrial
equipment and automation systems the robot you see on the screen is one of its
specialist spin-off projects during its creation the engineers as you can
easily guess were inspired by the mechanics of an animal's body a flying fox at
rest as well as in a state of activity the robot stimulates the movements of a flying
fox almost identically therefore it's able to hang upside down clinging to a
perch in motion the robot unfolds its wings and alternates a flight phase with
a glide as the material for the wings the engineers chose impenetrable film as
well as lycra sheets welded at 45000 points if you look closer at the material you can see the obvious resemblance
to bee hives thanks to this special design the robot can keep moving without
going down even if the fabric is damaged it should be noted that the developers
have equipped the fox with an infrared sensor system that transmits data about the
surrounding space wirelessly thanks to them the robot can fly in semi-automatic
mode
Row Bird modern scientists and engineers increasingly
take their inspiration
Bionic Wheelbot and here's another amazing robot created by specialists from the company festo which we've mentioned earlier perhaps the main feature of bionic wheel boss is that unlike its natural prototype it won't frighten even the most arachnophobic people in addition this spider robot like other festo electronic animals looks very attractive the development was shown in march 2018 it should be noted that the robot can move in two fundamentally different ways for the first one to move forward the machine uses three pairs of legs like a real spider however in case of danger the robot rotates the legs to take on the shape of a wheel after that it starts moving and rolling on the surface reaching a higher speed than if it was walking with its legs in the usual way the second mode is also relevant for use on smooth surfaces
E Loom for a long time underwater maintenance or inspection has been a complex time and energy consuming procedure fortunately more and more engineers are working on robots that will make underwater work easier volume is a flexible underwater robot developed by Norwegian specialists at first glance it's clear that the robot looks a bit like a snake elm’s goal is to conduct research on the ocean floor it's worth mentioning that the machine can stay deep for a long time and it doesn't need to rise to the surface by air like a human being the metal cylinders were designed to make elm look like a snake for a reason the fact is that this is the optimal way for safe movement in a liquid environment the robot's equipped with a motor that powers it too there are also cameras for the operator to see what's happening underwater in real time another advantage of this robot is its modular design thanks to which customers can modify the e-loom to their needs for example the machine can be equipped with tools for simple repairs
Crabster CR 200 humanity is working hard to
explore the ocean floor and learn more about it the krabsta cr200 was created
to patrol the coastal area of the Korean peninsula the fact is that there are
very strong underwater currents in this region so swimming in these conditions
is complicated but the robot you see on the screen has no problem doing it powerful
legs adhere to the bottom surface and grab onto the protuberances so the
submersible maintains the correct position for its work as the name crabster
cr200 suggests the engineers were inspired by a crap the animal was chosen for
its ability to move quickly both on land and at the bottom of the sea the
crabsta cr200 is a creation of specialists from the Korea institute of ocean
science and technology it was first shown in 2016. curiously the submersible is
unmanned notice the presence of windows though which are not really used to see
the underwater world from inside they allow you to quickly see the performance
of the submarine from the outside when it rises the robot weighs 600 kilograms
and its speed is one and a half kilometers per hour it should be noted that the
front legs can be equipped with manipulators to perform various tasks
underwater
Plural Bot to Create this robot which mimics the
movements of a salamander experts had to study the x-rays of the movements of a
real salamander while walking on the ground or swimming perhaps that's why the
resulting pleu robot looks so much like this animal the robotic salamander was
created by the scientist at the federal institute of technology in lao san Switzerland
it was decided to print the skeleton of the robot on a 3d printer the robot's
driven by electrical circuits that operate under the control of the synthetic
nervous system interestingly the vertebrae of the robotic creature are smaller
than the actual vertebrae of a salamander however this was done on purpose to
achieve a realistic movement with the available technology the creators of the
robot pursued a noble objective too pluribot allows a deeper understanding of
the loco motor system of vertebrates the new knowledge acquired can be used to
create better neural prostheses for people
