Dream Job

My dream job is definitely working for a company like the german-based FESTO. These guys create some of the most amazing things all inspired by the nature. Beyond simple biomimicry in form language, the mechanisms that actuate these machines are based on the underlying structures within living organisms. In essence we are talking about the mechanical equivalent of true muscles. Below is the most recent (re)creation based on a seagull. Pretty amazing stuff that marries cutting edge technology, with a strong foothold in nature-


also check on youtube for the jellyfish and searay- both are equally amazing.
