10 robots with animal shapes

Scientists build animal simulation robots that make them superior features such as better swimming, faster or higher jumps.

These robots are shaped like animals

Spot is the name of a robot dog created by Boston Dynamics.It can run across many types of terrain, climb stairs and balance when kicked to the side.Spot uses electric / hydraulic system, works both indoors

BionicKangaroo is a robot created by Festo Automation Company, copying kangaroo motions.Like a kangaroo, a robot recovers energy when jumping, storing and using effectively for the next jump.(Photo: Festo)

The tortoise-shaped robot is called Beachbot, built by Disney research lab.It uses rake under the wheel and sensor system to create complex strokes on the sand surface.(Photo: Beachbot)

Giant elephant robot in the city of Nantes, France, made from 45 tons of wood and steel.This mechanical elephant can carry 49 passengers and walk 45 minutes.(Photos: Wikipedia Commons)

Atrias was built by researchers at Oregon State University, USA.It is shaped like a bird.This is the fastest two-legged "athlete" in the world with perfect balance, bearing kicks and punches.(Photo: Dynamic Robotics Lab / Oregon State University)

Solid Robot ACM-R5H is made by Japanese scientists, applied in underwater search activities.The robot front has a wireless camera for taking pictures.(Photo: HiBot)

One of the latest fabrications by Festo Technology Company (Germany) is an ant-robot made of biological engineering (BionicAnt).These are small robots, working together to complete the mission, similar to how insects work together.Photo: Festo

The new US Navy deployed a robot shark called GhostSwimmer unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) 1.52 meters long, weighing 45.3 kg.It can perform intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance tasks, as well as ship inspection.(Photo: US Navy / Edward Guttierrez III)

The Cheetah robot, built by Boston Dynamics, is capable of mimicking the movement of a leopard.It runs faster than humans, with a speed of 45.5 km / h.(Photo: Boston Dynamics)

Spider robot (T8) is made from 3D printing technology, shaped like a real spider.It has 26 different engines, three of which are in each leg and two in the abdomen.(Photo: Robugtix)
