Animal robots

Festo is known for making moving robots that move like animals, such as the sea gull like SmartBird, jellyfish, butterflies and kangaroos. [2] In 2018 they also added a flying fox and a rolling spider to the list. [3] Festo calls their Bionic Flying Fox an “ultra-lightweight flying object with intelligent kinematics.”

gollark: - Some of Parliament wants it, others don't- The country seems pretty much 50/50 split on whether they want it- Nobody can agree on what it should be or how it should work
gollark: It might become obsolete if a RXGT+ 2130 (I fully expect the naming scheme of the next generation to be this bad) is made, which presumably will be somewhat cheaper than my card and perform similarly.
gollark: My GTX 1050 is arguably still not obsolete since there is no similarly priced newer competitor from Nvidia.
gollark: You should complain to redidit.
gollark: The best ÇPU for this? Probably an LN2-cooled overclocked 28 core Xeoñ W.
