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 ...

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.

We've seen some impressive nature-inspired flying bots from the creative minds at Festo's Bionic Learning Network over the years, but the autonomous BionicBee is not only the smallest so far but also ...

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 ...
