BionicFlyingFox: Festo’s Robot Flying Fox

Here is another cool Festo robot inspired by nature. The BionicFlyingFox can perform agile flying maneuvers and fly in a defined space semi-autonomously thanks to a motion-tracking system. This artificial flying fox has a wingspan of 228cm and body length of 87cm.

The BionicFlyingFox’s position is tracked constantly with a motion tracking system. The system plans the flight paths and delivers the commands to the robot.
