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.
