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)
