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 more.

Ants are nature's very own army: goal-driven, indefatigable and capable of great victories in the face of adversity. Now, a German engineering company is looking to harness the power of these insects ...

A four-winged robotic “dragonfly” with Long Island connections has landed — in the pages of Guinness World Records 2020. The BionicOpter, created by Festo AG, a global company with operations in ...

Developing a bioreactor that can enables the efficient and photosynthesis of algae on a large-scale is no easy task. In this video, Dr. Nina Gaißert, from the Festo Bionic Learning Network, describes ...

They’re big, bionic copycats. Developed by German engineering company Festo, these artificial ants are about the size of a human hand, and mimic the cooperative behaviour of the real insects by making ...

Robotic ants the size of a human hand that work together could be the future of factory production systems. The developers, German technology firm Festo, say it's not just the unusual anatomy of ...

Though it looks more like Dr. Octopus' mechanical tentacles from "Spiderman," a flexible, robotic arm recently developed by German automation company Festo was actually fashioned after an elephant's ...

Alas, no new episode of The Bionic Woman tonight. Instead, let’s ponder who would win a bionic arm wrestling match between Jaime Sommers and Airic’s Arm. The challenger is a robotic limb created by ...
