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 ...

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 ...

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.

At Hannover Messe, Festo showed off its BionicCellFactory, a five-module system that demonstrates a complete bioprocess of algae cultivation harvesting and AI-enhanced analytics.

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 ...
