Bio-inspired engineering by Festo. Nature has already solved many of the problems we deal with every day. 🌱 Festo produces mechanical animals called Bionics series. It combines mechanical engineering with biology and nature. Nature is a great teacher and can teach us a lot! From a flapping-wing robot that...

"Nature has solved"??? God does call himself jealous in the Bible. Oh how patient he is. He patiently suffers today in Heaven (let alone being tortured to death on a cross to pay our debt and forgive us). Is DNA machine code outside our understanding not enough?

Nature really is the ultimate engineer. Festo’s Bionics series shows how powerful biomimicry can be.

The bionic ant is a perfect example of where robotics is heading: small, cheap, coordinated swarms. The real question is whether our industry adopts any of it, or we just watch others capture the value.

Nature-inspired engineering shows that some of the best solutions aren’t invented from scratch, they’re discovered by studying what already works. Festo’s bionic systems are a great example of biology directly influencing the future of robotics.

A robot that swims underwater, then flies straight out of it! 🦢 Water is 1,000 times denser than air. Moving through one or the other normally means two completely different machines. Around 100 bird species disagree. Loons, gulls, puffins and petrels dive after prey, then leap back into the sky. Engineers at MIT and EPFL built a robot that does the same thing. It's a flapping-wing aerial-aquatic vehicle, it weighs under 300 grams, and the results are out in Science. Raphael Zufferey who runs the AURA Lab at MIT, is lead author. A waterproof motor drives a crankshaft that pumps two flexible wings up and down at set frequencies, and a motorised tail changes angle to climb or dive. The wing membranes are coated with hydrophobic nanoparticles so water sheds off them. Wing flexibility turned out to be the whole game. Flexible enough to keep flapping amplitude low in water, firm enough to hold the robot up in air. → Swims at almost 1 m/s flapping at around 5 Hz → Flies at around 6 m/s at a similar frequency, close to real diving birds → The water-to-air transition needs a pitch of around 70°. Shallower and the wingtips catch the surface, steeper and it falls back in My favourite finding is the one about feet. Puffins and ducks paddle at the surface to get airborne, so the team assumed a robot would need something equivalent. It doesn't. Wings and tail alone are enough.
