Festo: Get inspiration for automation technology from nature

A series of achievements from Festo, such as inspiration, thinking control, beak-shaped claw hand, bionic jellyfish, intelligent flying bird, etc., given by the elephant ’s nose. "eyeball". Experts point out that nature has unparalleled efficiency: biological evolution is an optimization strategy for organisms to adapt to the environment. It is the most direct way to draw inspiration from nature to convert these principles in nature into technological processes and innovative processes, and thus apply them in the field of automation technology.

The reporter learned at today's exhibition that the Bionic Learning Network is a project jointly initiated by Festo and several well-known institutions, institutions and development companies. In the bionic learning network, principles from the natural world provide a continuous driving force for the development of technology and industrial applications. The project aims to design new technology platforms and products through the application of bionics. The goals of the Bionic Learning Network include transforming efficient strategies in nature into automation technology, testing new technologies and manufacturing processes, and developing energy-saving biomechanical products.

History of Bionic Learning Network

Since the early 1990s, Festo has started extensive research work in the field of bionics, and launched the Bionic Learning Network project in 2006. It has been committed to developing and supporting various projects. A prototype of this principle is tested. Flexibility, weight to mobile mass ratio, and energy consumption are becoming increasingly important considerations, and nature has given us the answer to how to achieve the highest performance with the least energy consumption.

Inspiration given by the elephant's nose-Bionic Grab Assistant 3.0

The Bionic Grab Assistant is a flexible assistant system based on the elephant's nose. Its structural elasticity can ensure safe and direct contact between man and machine, which points the way to the development of new methods of man-machine interaction. The system can grab objects independently without programming or manual operation. The micro camera in the grab module records the working space, then detects the target object and tracks it, and finally issues the grab command at the appropriate time.

Mind control-CogniGame

GogniGame is a reinterpretation of a table tennis simulation game released in the 1970s. Through CogniGame, the development team moved the virtual computer game to the real table, and the game equipment used various elements of Festo. A player can only control the racket through the brain-computer interface (BCI), while the opponent controls the joystick by hand to move the racket. Festo developed a software called CogniWare for this game, which controls the racket through thinking and biological signals. The software simplifies the interface between the user and the hardware and creates a new concept of human-machine interaction that can be applied to industrial applications.

Beak-shaped claw hand-imitation fruit of bird's beak

The beak-shaped claw hand is based on the complex movement mechanism of the bird's beak, using the movement principle that engineers call the "watt link". The gripper uses a lightweight structure, a very light-weight pneumatic tendon and titanium alloy materials, with excellent clamping force and weight ratio, so it works more energy-efficient.

Bionic jellyfish-improve energy efficiency through autonomous control

Festo's bionic jellyfish is an artificial jellyfish that can be controlled independently. It uses electric cylinders and intelligent adaptive mechanical systems to achieve collective behavior. Each jellyfish decides how to exercise based on its own status (for example, power, drive position) and distance from other jellyfish. The bionic jellyfish consists of a transparent hemisphere and eight propelling tentacles. The body of the bionic jellyfish adopts the laser sintering process, which can be waterproof. A central motor, two lithium batteries, a charging control unit and a swash plate servo motor are installed in the body.

Smart Birds: Wonderful bird flight

The intelligent flying bird can fly, glide and hover in the air like a real silver gull without additional driving mechanism. The most distinctive feature of the intelligent bird is its active twisting wings, which can dispense with equipment for high climb. The Smart Bird project aims to achieve an overall structure with high efficiency in terms of resources and energy consumption. The intelligent flying bird reduces the overall weight to the greatest extent. The wings can both propel and climb. The flight control unit is installed in the torso and tail fins, resulting in an intelligent biomechanical system.

It is reported that Festo is a global leader in automation technology and an international market leader in technical training and continuing vocational education. Festo's pneumatic and electric drive technology is a representative of industrial automation and process automation innovation, not only providing a single product, but also providing ready-to-install solutions. Innovation that maximizes the production capacity of customers, the establishment of close cooperative relationships with customers, and global operations are all meanings of the Festo brand.
