4. Bionic kangaroo
Festo’s Bionic Learning Network has been responsible for some amazing creations over the years. The BionicKangaroo recovers the energy exerted on landing, stores it and efficiently uses it for the next jump. It combines pneumatic and electrical drive technology to produce a highly dynamic system. The stable jump kinematics plus the precise control technology ensure stability when jumping and landing. The consistent lightweight construction facilitates the unique jumping behavior. Another interesting fact is that the system is controlled by hand gestures.
