Bionic robots are an exciting topic in the fields of Industry and Factory 4.0, Artificial Intelligence and Sustainability and Environment 4.0. They combine robotics technology with ideas from nature to develop particularly efficient and innovative machines. The aim is to replicate movements and abilities that we observe in animals or humans as closely as possible. This makes robots more flexible, more skilful and able to perform many tasks for which conventional robots are not suitable.
An illustrative example is a robotic arm that performs gripping tasks like an elephant's trunk. As the elephant's trunk is very manoeuvrable and strong, this shape is suitable for robots that have to work in confusing or confined environments - for example when sorting rubbish or harvesting fruit.
Bionic robots are particularly valued because they can save resources and work more sustainably. They can help to automate processes in factories and make them more environmentally friendly and can be continuously developed further thanks to artificial intelligence. The result is a combination of high-tech and nature that makes our future more sustainable and efficient.
