20 Amazing Robot Animals That Will Blow Your Mind

millions of years of evolution have allowed animals to develop some elegant and highly efficient solutions to problems like locomotion flight and dexterity specifically developers try to give their products the appropriate appearance and give robots all the advantages of the representatives of fauna let's look at the top 20 amazing robot animals that will blow your mind big dog robot the first robot on our list embodies the dreams of the american infantrymen this assistant created precisely for these strong guys literally carries all the weight that previously had to drag the soldiers themselves to be honest it does

not really remind you of a dog however it still can follow a person even with a load up to 500 kilograms this dog can reach speeds up to 25 kilometers per hour the development and improvement of this robot are still in progress but soon the us army will add four-legged soldiers robot fish first that can be said is that his particular robot came out very beautiful it turned out so impressive because with the next level inventions it completely imitates all of the habits and movements of fish and can easily be confused with the real one

today several dozen of these robotic fish are in different sizes and various breeds their applications are mainly limited to one entertainment aquariums filled with such mechanical fish can be more than impressive robot bird back in 2011 the world saw the first robot bird the scenery is extraordinary because the robot imitating albatross moves floats and flies precisely like its feather prototype today there are more than 20 such robots and each of them is unique some of them rise to a height of one kilometer at this altitude they are absolutely indistinguishable from real birds how strange is

that the military hasn't created such a drone for itself so far robot octopus one of the most exciting amazing robots that really exist is octopus it was created for deep sea exploration and today is used for its intended purpose silicone tentacles are driven by electric motors and accelerate the octopus at 20 centimeters per second the robot is equipped with the camera and recording equipment the item has passed sea baptism helping it study its real live octopus brothers robot salamander the only modern robot capable of moving both in water and on land the robot's lightweight plastic

body allows it to flow freely simulating a reptile movement while on the ground it can be used moving particular curved legs the speed is low but the passage on complex surfaces is excellent interesting fact the creators of this robot want to get a new type of amphibian transport eventually robot spider t8 not an animal of course but we couldn't mention it spider robot skeleton is printed on a 3d printer t8 is one of the most shocking and amazing robots that really exist it has several kits including a realistic coating the robot uses 26 servo gears

and a simple advanced control system this robot costs 1 385 dollars but the version without the skin can be purchased for 250 robot jellyfish one of the more beautiful and harmonious robot animals actually exists it is this jellyfish it is very much like a real jellyfish maybe a little mechanized it can be used in many areas from pure entertainment in the aquarium to work as an underwater radio anchor in the open sea leading ships and planes jellyfish can both swim at a reasonable speed and hang in one place while even a strong flow will not

interfere with it manta ray robot researchers from the national university of singapore have created manta droid an aquatic robot that emulates the swimming locomotion of manta rays the robotic manta ray which swims at the speed of twice its body length per second and can operate up to 10 hours could potentially be employed for underwater surveillance in the future manta droid was designed and optimized over two years after an in-depth study of fluid dynamics and multiple experiments which included testing of 40 different fin designs the fins that were eventually installed on the robot are a pair

of flexible pectoral fins made using pvc sheets the fins achieved good maneuverability and swimming capability when tested in the pool [Music] the nicoro robot like other new technology developments in the land of the rising sun japanese robotic animals are of high quality and extensive functionality nikkoro is covered with soft wool and looks like a live pet both in appearance and behavior robocat will favorably purr when scratching the ears and stroking the back as well as to express other emotions from angry growling to welcoming meowing robocat uses 48 sounds recorded with real animals to express its

emotions sensors are located in the cat's nose thanks to which the cat sees its surroundings spot mini robot dog the developers of boston dynamics presented to the world of high tech its robotic pet to be fair spot mini is not too similar to a four-legged tailed friend on the outside but is in no way inferior to a dog in terms of intelligence skills and abilities thus a robotic dog can open closed doors independently and even cooperate on other mechanisms to perform a common task jeff bezos head of amazon an organizer of the mars 2018 exhibition

came to the march conference with his robot from boston dynamics bionic ants for bionic ants festo has not only taken the delicate anatomy of the natural ant as a role model for the first time the cooperative behavior of the creature is also transformed to the world using complex control algorithms like their natural role models the bionic ants work together under clear rules they communicate with each other and coordinate their actions and movements among each other the artificial ants thus demonstrate how autonomous individual components can solve a complex task together working as an overall networked system

the crabster cr-200 the crabster cr200 a huge six-legged underwater robot was developed at the korean institute of ocean science and technology the crabster is designed to be lowered by crane to around 200 meters below the surface where it will walk along the sea floor on six legs powered by 30 joints like a crab or a lobster the robot's front legs are equipped with manipulators that can grasp objects and can be stored in a frontal compartment the researchers also designed the robot shell to deflect strong currents by adjusting its overall posture nibel nivel is not only

a robotic cat that walks it's a new type of pet an advanced robotic kitten that you bring to life with a small computer customizable software a basic components kit and whatever upgrades you can imagine knives motion is driven by a microcontroller it stores instinctive muscle memory to move around an optional chip can be mounted on top of naivel's back to help nabel with perception and decision you can program in your favorite language and direct nivel to walk around simply by sending short commands such as walk or turn left robot cheetah as you know the world

famous runner usain bolt is capable of overtaking a real cheetah but a cheetah robot can easily catch up with and outrun them both with the fastest predator the robot has little in common but speed it is capable of reaching 45 kilometers per hour engineers are still working to give the robot a proper appearance and plan to speed up their mechanical runner festo bionic opter now this robot that actually exists was unveiled by the german technology company festo bionicopter is a fully functional robot dragonfly it can fly forwards backwards hover and even fly sideways just like

the real dragonfly its introduction marks another step forward in robotics engineering the bionic opter isn't as tiny as its natural counterpart it's approximately 19 inches long with a wingspan of just over 27 inches but it looks a lot like the real thing with its dual pair of wings operating independently affixed to its rail thin body and slightly bulbous light blue head it weighs remarkably just 175 grams scorpion hexapod robot in the animal kingdom a hexapod is the name of a six-legged arthropod or a true insect in the field of robotics it is a term used

for a six-legged robot a group of students at ghent university in belgium have created a 3d printed robot that looks like something from a nightmare or a futuristic sci-fi movie this impressive hexapod looks and moves like a scorpion it even has the ability to whip its tail forward and sting those brave enough to come within striking distance leaving victims an ink reminder of their encounter with its marker-equipped stinger robot shark after the creation of the robot fish baton was taken by military engineers and scientists who created a robot imitating the most ferocious marine predator the

sample of this swimming robot shark presented to the public has a length of only 1.5 meters but it still makes the striking impression oddly enough scientists said they tried to make a copy of the tuna but it ended up with the shark it is quite easy to understand how and for what the robot will be used it can sink 400 meters which is not the limit since the works are still in progress bionic kangaroo robot the german company festo developers created a robotic seven kilogram copy of a kangaroo that can move exactly like a real

animal bionic kangaroo can jump up to 40 centimeters high and 80 centimeters long scientists have achieved a major breakthrough the robot's motor system returns the energy spent on the jump and uses it to make a new jump this saves significant resources and can be used for new inventions and discoveries the kangaroo robot can only jump and position itself more as a robot than a mass-produced toy but things can be changed in the future having a kangaroo at home isn't a tempting idea robot snake but first do us a favor click that like button to inspire
