Bold, ambitious, and risky. But if successful, we will revolutionise telecommunication and solve the connectivity bottlenecks of the future.

Our programme is funded with £50m and we are expecting your applications.

Festo has created BionicBee, an autonomous robot that swarms like a bee. The behavior could have many benefits in a biomimetic robot swarm. Applications for the technique exist in both the civilian and the military world.

This open-source canon of proportions is suited for the design of humanoid robots because it groups anatomical landmarks by the masses they move with. It’s the most precise and comprehensive artistic canon ever published. It incorporates the best innovations of past artists (e.g. Dürer and da Vinci). It gives a mechanism for the shoulder girdle. It provides for supination at the wrists. It considers contrapposto. These are areas where current humanoids could be improved: https://t.co/dps8PNa9pd
