仿生三角架利用了自然界中鱼鳍的结构,首次将三维空间应用到空中企鹅和水下企鹅项目中,以便实现高效和多方位的自动化。三个可扩展伸缩的金丝玻璃纤维杆降低了需要被替换的量,同时允许最大90度的运动。BionicTripod with FinGripper versatile movement and adaptive grasping
The BionicTripod makes use of the bionic Fin Ray® structure, which was transferred to three-dimensional space for the first time in the AirPenguin and AquaPenguin projects for efficient, versatile automation. Three extendible and retractable filigree fibreglass rods reduce the mass to be displaced, while allowing a maximum scope of movement of up to 90 degrees.
airPenguin –空中企鹅——自动飞翔的机器企鹅.
随着空中企鹅的问世, Festo公司的工程师们创造了人造企鹅,并教会他们“在空中自主飞行”。为此,控制和调节技术进一步发展成自我调节生物机电一体化系统,该系统可以在今后的生产适应性发挥作用。
一组3只自动飞行的企鹅自由盘旋在空中超声发射站监控下的固定区域。企鹅能够自由的在这个空间内移动,因为一个微控制器赋予了他们自由的意志来以开拓这片空间。
autonomously flying robotic penguins
With the AirPenguins, the engineers from Festo have created artificial penguins and have taught them "autonomous flight in the sea of air". For this purpose, control and regulating technology had to be further developed into self-regulating biomechatronic systems, which could also play a future role in adaptive production.
A group of three autonomously flying penguins hovers freely through a defined air space that is monitored by ultrasound transmission stations. The penguins are at liberty to move within this space; a microcontroller gives them free will in order to explore it.
