Biomechatronic footprint – from the natural model to the Future Concept
Bionic Future Concepts (r)evolutionise automation technology
What do the elephant's trunk and the fish's fin have to do with automation? Festo is providing the answer at the 2010 Hanover Trade Fair with the latest biomechatronic highlights from the Bionic Learning Network.
The bionic Future Concepts are inspired by nature. With the Bionic Handling Assistant, the engineers from Festo have created a breakthrough in innovation that will (r)evolutionise handling technology up to the level of human-machine cooperation.
Likewise, with the BionicTripod 2.0 and Modular Lightweight Handling, Festo is presenting innovative solutions for a wide variety of handling tasks. Whether for industrial applications or as a learning system for basic and advanced training, nature is showing the way forward to energy-efficient automation of the future.
With the CyberKite, an automated kite system, Festo is presenting a groundbreaking mechatronic system that harnesses the forces of nature by means of intelligent control technology.
