Festo's BionicWheelBot is the bionic version of the flic-flac spider, which is found in the Sahara desert. Courtesy: FestoFesto's 2018 bionic menagerie from its Bionic Learning Network features a transforming spider that rolls or creeps, a robotic fish that autonomously maneuvers through acrylic water-filled tubing, and a semi-autonomous flying bat-like robot with more than a seven-foot (2.28-m) wing span and the ability to self-improve its flight path. The Bionic Learning Network is part of an ongoing research project to further engineering, manufacturing, and materials science based on the study of natural systems.
