Discussion

Technology development exponentially accelerates, this seminar will look at how Festo has spent the last 14 years investing in research into how nature solves problems. By investigating the evolution of the natural world, the company avoids “re-inventing the wheel” and takes advantage of millions of years of evolution. The seminar will show the principles of Bio-Mimetic engineering and the output of the program, including gravity defying super conductors, lightweight robots and flying animals plus brand new developments for 2014. This is not only an efficient development tool; it is also a very effective way of promoting science and technology to young people. With multiple appearances on the Gadget Show, Wallace and Grommet, BBC Click and several news programs, Festo hopes to reach out to Tomorrows Engineers
