5 Amazing BIONIC ROBOTS with Artificial Intelligence by Festo Robotics 

Hi, Festo engineer here. I've read through the comments and I am here to answer your questions if there are any. Q: Why do we do this? A: Because we can ;) But it really is to showcase our technology and to research new principles like energy recovery (kangaroo), lightweight construction (flying fox) to use them in our regular product development. Q: Where can you buy these? A: They are pure research projects and not for sale (yet?!). But if you want to see them just write me and we make an appointment :) Q: Where is the intelligence in these? A: The title is quite misleading here. The biggest part of them does not have intelligence but just mechanical work. There are, however, some that have intelligence included. For example, the butterflies do autonomous path planning and coordination. We also have ants that solve problems as a group and a bionic hand that learned grasping and manipulation of objects from deep reinforcement learning. If there are any other questions, just contact me :)

1:43 imagine one of these spider backflipping to you

3:59 Did bruce wayne fund this research? Put a camera on it, paint it black and its perfect for monitoring areas leading to his cave without causing suspicion.

God I wish this was the focus of man rather than shouting at strangers over the internet.

I am extremely interested in robotics and cannot help, but be amazed by the great level of understanding of physics required to develop such robots. I feel great respect for such work. I see the endless possibility and great capacity of change it could have in the world as a whole. Robots are the future. I would love to create robots too, one day, but as of right now my creations remain in my head. This motivates to begin at least working on something small and attainable with my very limited knowledge and understanding. Thank you for sharing.

Completely in awe of this. I didn’t know Festo were doing this - Simply amazing.

3:23 This robot reminds me Droideka from Star Wars :D

1:31 the visual and audio from that dragonfly makes me feel at peace.

wow amazing work man , so nice such realistic movement, i'm looking forward that you will give them a natural skin , a real lifelike head etc etc .... but i'm already impressed ,congratulation !

Creating bionic robots have true potential to help us in beneficial ways. They should not be weaponized at all but they can be misused.

One word... Incredible! How much more incredible the Maker of the humans must be!

Da Vinci would be stoked

The kangaroo is hilarious. But the butterflies are kind of a cool effect.

Hi Jan. Your innovation and engineering excellence shines through these designs. Keep up the work. A charming watch. Thank you.

Your designs are just magnificently simple! I suspect they have required more work than many would expect!

정말 같은 시대에 같은 공간에 살고 있는 분들이 맞습니까? 우리보다 50년 미래에 살고 계신분들이시네요. 정말 감탄했습니다. 감사합니다.

A future zoo made up of these critters would be pretty entertaining

This is absolutely unbelievable.

An Amazing Achievement,especially very advantegous for ...EDUCATION in the Future

I've always been a fan of Festo

I am going to buy some of these. They are the coolest toys a grown man could have. The best one for me was the flying fox. We have fruit bats in the Philippines and this robot is the closest one to the real thing. And the butterflies too! Kudos to the engineers who made these. You are our future.

All hail the birthing grounds of our future robot overlords.

Waohhh its truly amazing, I loved the kangoroou

Loved the Festo butterfly, so few parts.

4:11 ok that is amazing

Выглядит это невероятно!!! Хотя мне кажется нужно бы добавить, так сказать биологии. Хотя не мне в калашный ряд. Молодцы!

Leonardo da Vinci would have been delighted!))

The bat one was the coolest, although I could see the undersea one being great as an underwater drone. What material was used for the wings of the "flying fox"? It would be awesome one day to have a backpack that has wings pop out and we can actually fly. Maybe like a bat, or in the case of the butterfly one, we could fly like Arthur from The Tick. I just want to be able to fly. Which one you want to incorporate to get me in the air is up to you. Take my money, please!

Wow very very cool,really loved the bat and butter fly great spy gadgets

The Festo is the beginning of the Droideka from Star Wars

Super, das wurde in Esslingen aufgenommen. Als ich zwei Straßen weiter gewohnt habe, sah ich nie solche Sachen life als ich vorbei ging. Das muss Pech sein. Naja vllt. bewerbe ich mich nach dem Studium bei Festo.

These are some amazing high tech gadgets you have there. The first one is something out of Ghost in the Shell!

yo, that bracelet controls idea for the kangaroo is actually really neat.

CONGRATULATIONS for FESTO Robotics

These are pretty awesome I can totally see a future where little robots are doing things all around city's and towns like cleaning up unclogging drains and other little stuff that gets neglected. Obviously humans are to lazy to do it ourselves so might as well have things that do it for us. Also I'd start working on an AI bee that can pollinate flowers. We might need that soon lol

The fliers look like a nice improvement over noisy drones. But the walkers are still underdogs to the great Spots. 😆😆😆😆😆👍😎

Thump up!! Good especially the plying fox robot..

I'm impressed! It takes a whole lot before impressing me...

please help - the medical industry, cure injured people. -injured spines. amputees rebuild. and prosthetics. glory and god with your project. build future world, save the world.

Festo...Best A.I robotic fo year!

How are these being displayed in future, the biz plans abt it? Like an invitation?

Hii, Dear Festo Team, You are doing great, your all research is unbelievable & inspiring. How much artificial intelligence is helpful for this?

Now that's the kind of fish kids needs a a pet, clean and no need to feed😁

it is not the design it is not the understanding of bionics it is not the purpose of the robots it is the love of the creators to their creatures which touches my heart oO'

มันสวยงามมาก

Super kanał super filmiki 🍀👌👌👌🍀🍀👋👋👋🍀🍀🔔🔔🔔🍀🍀🏆🏆🏆🍀👍👍👍👍🍀Polecam pozdrawiam z Polski 🇵🇱🇵🇱

Aber zugegeben. Die Roboter Spinne is fantastisch ❤

Festo Robotics vs Boston Dynamics who will win?

The butterfly is cool, but it feels like the locomotion of the real ones is.. less 'steady'

Always when I see Festo I remember Eggman machines from Sonic 😅

I am pissed that knowledge to creating this at the reach of my hand, yet I am so lazy to start using it.

I think you guys are smart enough to create a robot that would win a Battlebots Championship! : )

Очень круто! Спасибо!

Put some wings on that spider, or maybe a detachable flying dragon fly ornithopter that that can also carry the spider. The ornithopter is held in place by a pair of legs locking into it.

Festo is openai of bionic robots. Future is near

Utilization of robots just keep on rising

Y esto señores es el principio del fin.

Power of humans!

very interesting to see robots have the same movements as living things, is the robot an implementation of mathematical calculations?

If Leonardo was alive today to see it...

When u thought the spiders triped . You. Damn Second trip You. Aw 3 trip. Wait. . . Is the spider🤔. . . DOING THAT ON PURPOSE😟😱 for speed.

Wow ,... ty for share ,..

Amazing! Particularly the illumination of the kangaroos pooh hole.😳🤣👍

Nice work! It helps us to see how perfect is nature.

the bat an the butterfly are my favs :D

0:30 cool fish tank! =D Nice to see there is a solution to the slow gradual extinction of Earth's various species.

amazing. I look forward to joining these geniuses Thank you for share that video

My only issue with aquatic robots is size. If its too small but not small enough, it might kill something more interesting if used in the ocean. Like an Orca.

So, a computerized bat and kangaroo walk into a bar...

Für mich schaut es so aus, als wenn die Fledermaus nicht in der Lage ist "aufzusteigen". Sie verzögert lediglich den Sturz. Da gibt es mittlerweile schon andere (beeindruckendere) Fluggeräte. Den Hummingbird Robot zum Beispiel. Aber Hey. Die Musik ist nett.

Incredible🤯. The key to their functionality is in the exact mimicking of movement too the real thing. I wonder if God chuckles a little bit each time we are able to make a working toy of one of his creation. And I say toy with all due respect.

Old woman like me think these kinds of inventions are very interesting to have and enjoy, even collection of fun, as long as affordable.

Love it

looking at the kangaroo, i wonder if T-rex was a jumper?

Я должен был офигеть наверное от этого, но что-то меня уже последнее время ничего не удивляет.... Я наверное со своего смартфонв им управлять смогу, а вскоре и без него 🤔

How can you make out the difference between a real thing and a CGI

some of those bionic animals have a very emotional and natural perspective

MY GOD LOOK THAT CRAZY SPIDER

Great effort :). Can your bionic robots help to save kids caught in borewells ?. I am sure your integrated systems will serve the purpose and save innocent lives

Bat is beautiful and simple ♥️

Фантастика!👍

hey festo...make a bee robot that can pollinate crops...it can help agriculture...and save the world if bees go extinct in the future...thanks

festo is the new cyberlife

Terrestrial robots = Cool Aquatic and flying robots = Very cool

Festo, beyond imagination.

Nice pictures, but nothing on their AI applications. Is machine learning used for motion, sensing, etc. . How? What were the hurdles, breakthroughs, etc..

Eine Wahl drone die das mehr mit filtern von micro Plastik reinigt. Das währe nicht nur für das militär von Nutzen sondern für alle.

This literally blew my mind, incredible work!! This is more art than engineering

Butterflies , mmm . Now there is a good one . Can’t govern flight pattern ? If white , white butterfly in crops ! There territorial . Robot white butterfly 🤔 looking like a good idea .

This is some next level metal gear solid shit.

Nice

Definitely want to be that spider

Perfect for the IRS to deploy as field agents, just send some of these to people's homes if they don't file their taxes properly. These can hide cheeses in hard to find corners or plug/unplug electric appliances to make people think their houses are haunted. (Dear IRS DON'T actually do this, this is just satire.)

Sure these are impressive, but I'm more interested in the real life spider that enjoys doing cartwheels.

Прекрасная работа. Я бы так не смог. Но с кенгуру что-то не так с хвостом. Во-первых, кожух на спине не дает ему подняться. Во-вторых, живые кенгуру используют по-другому: хвост по инерции дополнительно приподнимает тело и создает дополнительный импульс, чтобы забросить ноги как можно дальше вперед. В механизме это не реализовано. И я не знаю как это реализовать. Поэтому мои слова - не критика, а скорее плод желания разобраться в работе робота под впечатлением "уау" от его существования.

I wish I can do it for my family

you are true treasures on this planet, in opposite force with nature, thankyou｡◕‿◕｡🐾🛸🇭🇲🦎

I like the butterflies. Where can I see more

Hey you guys should combine that spider thing with a quantum computer - connect it wirelessly to googles cloud server.... On second thought maybe not. John Conner - if you see this message it means there is still time

Awesome and terrifying
