BionicKangaroo is a robot model developed and made by Festo in the form of a kangaroo. [1] Applying methods from kinematics, bionics, and biomimetics, Festo's researchers and engineers studied the way kangaroos move, and applied that to the design of a robot that moves in a similar way. The robot saves energy from each jump and applies it to ...
