Robots penguins soon in your pool

Perhaps it is time to leave the planet before they dominate us penguins. The German company Festo has presented to the astonished world its latest creation: two colonies of penguins bionic. These are robots that mimic the movement and appearance of the penguins will have revolutionary applications in the industrial world. The two colonies, currently held in two pools of water, each have three individuals that are so similar to the real which can even swim backwards. But if his striking appearance, its operation is simply amazing. Bionic These penguins are able to behave autonomously and adapt to the environment that they came across in his swimming. This is an amazing achievement, but draws much attention

that, according to Pesto, are endowed with a social meaning which can adapt their behavior when they meet in groups for the common good, so absolutely spontaneous. It's almost as if will take. Penguins measured about 80 centimeters long and have a diameter of 20 centimeters, weighing about nine k ILOs and moved about five miles per hour. Taking into account that have a range of 7 hours, let alone more than 35 miles low water. The movement is really similar to their natural thanks to 3D technology Fin Ray Effect. A technique that consists of some very flexible rods of glass fibers in your head that are driven by a motor that goes in your body and to provides natural movement to help you swim and turn. The design of these penguins have served to secure the technology necessary to create a flexible mechanical arm that can turn almost any direction and with a precision that is able to change a light bulb without problems. The next step will be the Air Pinguin, according to Festo engineers. An opportunity for penguins evolutionarily lost time and learn to fly. The Penguins used a helium to fly without problems, and a wireless system to communicate among themselves.
