Festo’s BionicKangaroo recycles energy | Gizmag
“Just like its animal cousin, the robo-marsupial developed by Festo’s Bionic Learning Network is able to store energy from the landing phase of a jump and reuse it efficiently on subsequent jumps. The technology developed for the BionicKangaroo may hold the key to more energy-efficient machines based on both pneumatic and electric drive technologies.”
