Elephant with robots

The German-made elephant hull training is learning how to use each mechatronic part of the way the children learn to control their bodies.

Made from 40,000 bundles, an elephant can lift up to 270kg of logs, but at the same time, it performs delicate movements such as peeling the peanut without breaking the beans.

This flexibility has inspired the German engineering firm Festo to design an electronic elephant made from 3D-engineered parts and controlled by mechanical ventilation systems .

Jochen Steil, a smart systems engineer at the University of Bielefeld in Germany, wants to imitate moves from pushing, pulling, and gripping to apply to industrial robots. Robots do things like changing bulbs or holding apples.

However, the robotic horn is not designed to operate with precise control software, but rather the process of testing and learning from mistakes, similar to when children learn to detect usage. muscle.

While performing the task, it records the smallest pressure adjustments in myofibrillary operating tubes, which then follow the most accurate movements, according to New Scientist.
