German engineers have created a flying roblecito

The developers of the German company Festo for quite a long time engaged in the creation of robotic animals. The engineers at Festo have developed a robot butterfly, ant, jellyfish, kangaroo, Seagull, spider and even a penguin. All these training robots look very realistic and can surprise their abilities, not only children but also adults. In these animals Sobolinaya Festo does not end — the company showed fly roblecito.

My bionic flying Fox, which the developers affectionately call "ultra-lightweight flying object with intelligent kinematics". The length of the "object" is 87 centimeters, a wingspan of 228 cm and a weight of 580 grams. Flying foxes — the largest bats in the world, and they have leather wings without feathers. To accurately simulate this property of the animal, the developers have created a thin ultra-light and very strong membrane, composed of two airtight films and knit fabrics.

All layers are connected to each other at 45 000 points, forming a kind of "cellular" structure that allows the wing to bend, but not break with prolonged use. However, the robot will be able to fly, even if one or both wings will receive minor damage.
