BionicANTs Cooperative behaviour based on a natural model Special features belonging to ants Ants are seen as industrious workers that can carry a hundred times their own body weight. They live in big colonies with a clear ranking order and set rules. In an ant colony, every creature knows which tasks need to be fulfilled. In this way, they can complete work together that a single ant could not manage on its own. Technical benefits for Festo Festo took a close look at this cooperative behaviour and transferred it to the BionicANTs. The artificial ants demonstrate in an abstract manner how self-organising individual components communicate with each other and solve a complex task working as an overall networked system.
