Air penguins
19Jun09
I was at the physics department at Imperial College London today, and one of the postgrads there told me about these awesome robot air penguins.
I want one!
Apparently they have been designed to move through air the same way real penguins move through water. The group that created them, Festo, engineer robotic muscles for a range of applications.
